Definately a wind up
"I was told by all my instructors when doing zero to a Frozen ATPL to do an instructor rating when i finish my cpl. however didn't do it. i went on to do my IR rating"
why would you go on to do one if you have an fatpl you already have one??
then we have the clincher
"a because it costs the most money and you can fly in and above cloud."
You spent 55 hrs doing an IR and you think that is the priveliges it affords you ????? you can do that with an IMC you should have saved yourself ten grand .
TROLL !!!!!
