Doing the 7 IR exams, for anybody but especially a long serving airline pilot, is bonkers. Their relevance to the real world is somewhere between zilch and zero and I know - I've just done them. And read through the 3000 pages of the GTS study material (goode olde ex RAF 1950s finest
PPSC stuff).
One could understand various safeguards but resitting those hugely irrelevant exams?
