You still need a min. 350 hours in a multicrew environment to meet the requirements for an ATPL, and that's all IFR anyway.....
So why not line your ducks up and TAKE the IR when you still remember the practical differences between MOCA and MORA!!
Why do people take an exam ( theory ), and not following up on the practical side ( flying ), and then b*tch and moan about it afterwards........shouldn't they read the requirements BEFORE they started !!
Most driver licenses in the EU has an expiration date on the theory exams.............for a little comparison :-)
