Yes - i thought the same about the 6 months though can't find anything in Lasors. Reason isn't really waiting, there's just no panic and if I decide to go with the IR then can get both issued at the same time (seem to recall CPL has to be issued to get the credit for instrument time on the IR in any case so may be futile). If I lose my medical over the next 12 months, having the chance to fly commercially in the interim is the lesser of my worries and like I say, there's no panic to get it yet (guess that put's me in a minority!!)
