I find your attitude a touch insulting to anyone who has embarked upon the route of gaining either a CPL or IR.
well possibly the CPL but that is a VFR-only bit which anybody can get
Have you got one? If not and it's so easy then why not? If you have then you must realise you are denegrating what was a lot of work to achieve.
the ATPL is something anybody with a CPL/IR can just pick up after logging 1500hrs TT and 500 multi-crew RHS hours
Again I refer to above. You don't have a JAA IR due to the degree of difficulty involved in gaining one, therefore i guess you haven't just 'picked up' an ATPL yet. Once you have then you may be in a position to discuss the ease with which one can be acquired.
