So what exactly was the point of starting this thread?
Were you hoping to start an argument?
Were you simply wondering if you'd made a mistake in chosing the FAA IR, and wanted to get other's advise, without admitting you'd gone the FAA route?
Or were you simply making Russells point for him, and looking for an opportunity to bash the JAA/IR pilots?
Really....I can't see your point in starting this thread if you already have an IR.

No I didn't really want to start an argument but I can't say that I didn't think it wouldn't happen, I really just wanted to see what FAA pilots thought about there rating after they had come home from the states. There may be some people who replied that were from the states but predominantly I think they were all from Europe as the JAR IR was compared very well.
Dublin pilot if you were instrument rated then you would understand why i started the forum you muppet! you completely contradicted yourself.

As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent.
Seems so I'm afraid.
Anyway, i wasn't arguing, I call it healthy discussion, and would buy most of the people on here a beer anyway given the chance (so long as I get one back
)

Ah, bose-x, you've joined the thread...
Are you still studying for your JAA-IR?
When you get it remember all the delightful pisstakes that non-FAA IR holders get here and on Flyer forum. (The implication being that only a dïckhead would waste that much time, effort and money - oh how you'll laugh
)
I'm still waiting for the beer EA, but FTR, my reference to Bud was a shot at irony as well
. (I really must stop doing that cos it doesn't travel well on the internet 
) We really must discuss this over that beer sometime, but I'll have a Carlsberg please...

Plenty of little microbreweries around if you look but requires lot of bad beer to find the gems. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale isn't too bad for a big established brand, wouldn't believe it's owned by Coors 
Quite strong, but can provide morning pain and suffering. Relevance to aviation? Don't fly on Sierra Nevada hangover even when legally sober, put that on a NASA form once

Nole,
I fail to see how I have contradicted myself. In my earlier post, I asked 4 questions, but only made one statement. Even I can't contradict myself with just one statement!
As for the name calling.......lets leave that out.
For what it's worth, I agree with Aimfar. If you had asked the question that you really wanted to know the answer to, you might have got more relevant answers.
