IR outside exam window
Economy still looking shakey and there seems to be a growing number of people feeling pushed in to the MEIR "before their exams run out". For those wondering whether to take the hit and get the MEIR before their ATPL's lapse what are the options? If you subsequently take the IR after the exams have lapsed (obviously retaking the necessary written exams for the IR) is it just a case of repeating the ground exams and then are you back in the race?? Just wondering as with the ATPL Question Bank etc, perhaps lapsing isn't a bad option - probably cheaper than renewing the IR for a fruitless year or two (say £2-3k - sitting exams again would cost £1k and your training completion would be more current).
