I have seriously thought of that I must admit - the work of NFLC is quite interesting.
At the very least I need an IR, and if doing that, I may as well go back an do the ATPLs rather than just the IR writtens for all the difference it makes.
CPL/IR without ATPL writtens would be fairly pointless, just as a silly non-saving that limits you quite a lot.
At the time I was doing the writtens I had no expectation of being able to afford the time or money to do an IR in the timescale I'd need to do it before the exams ran out. In that I was correct, so probably lost nothing really as I'd still have to re-do the exams when I do get around to an IR.
Unless this vaunted simplified EASA IR actually happens? But I've seen no signs of it yet, just talk, and not much of that lately.
