Flyhelico,
I had thought about that but I really don't want to let my ME-IR lapse simply because I want to be at least ready to start a TR with immediate effect (plenty of other guys will be and so to be in a position where I'm not I think would be further detrimental to my chances), my concern is whether or not I'm actual helping my chances by flying SEP as much as I am or if there is more I could be doing to make myself at least half appealing to anyone. Suppose I'm probably as stuck as I think I am!
