I'm sorry chaps but I just have to throw my little bit in to this argument.

Over the years I have earned:

An FAA ATPR (rated for the DC10)
A CAA (National) ATPL (which keeps my IMC rating current) and
A JAR ATPL

Why don't you just bite the bullet and do your IR with the CAA and get a JAR licence?

I came out of the RAF as a training captain with a Master Green instrument rating and 9,000 hours but none of that meant anything.

I had to take myself to Kidlington and do a very expensive civilian IR in order to get my civilian licence.

If I could do that (as all of us had to) why do you guys think that you are so precious or so very special that you don't have to do what it takes?

Why do you spend so much time and effort trying to beat the system?

Are you just slightly worried about putting your expertise on the line? Who knows, as someone has already suggested, you might even learn something in the process.

I did.
