Piper Girl,
Im not too sure about this but I believe you might have a problem with an american issued JAA CPL as its really issued in England. I would check with the IAA just to make sure its recognised and you wont have to retest. Im not too sure about this but I would double check just in case. I wanted to do my ATP's through bristol and was told as its an english JAA licence the IAA may have a problem with it eventhough its JAA too.
I would however suggest you save up the cash and then do the ME/IR as opposed to doing it part time. It will stop you from getting rusty and as we all know at 400euros an hr we wouldnt want to be getting a little rusty.........

birdlady,
I think your problem is with doing the ATPL theory and CPL training in two separate jurisdictions - as both parts constitute the Commmercial Pilots Licence.
The ME and IR are seperate ratings, not licences, and so may be undertaken in any JAA country and added to a licence issued by another JAA country.

just my tuppence worth pipergirl, but if you can afford it, i think it would be a good idea to attach your ME at the end of your CPL training. It only takes about a week.
good luck

Hi Piper
I'm doing my ATPL theory in NFC right now and will be doing hour building then CPL afterwards. Will do my Me/Ir after that.
If you do your CPL in US in a Jar school, it will be through the UK system, and will need to do some sort of conversion for your IAA licence, it may be only paper work, not sure. Did you already do your ATPL's, if so that determines what country you do your CPL in.
I will more than likely do CPL in Waterford and Me/Ir in Weston, as the FNPTII is reasonably priced at 145euro or thereabouts.
Best of luck

The Instrument Rating (or any other rating)part of the training does not require that I do the training in the same jurisdiction as licence issue. So, I can have a British Licence with an Irish instrument rating.
Thanks for your post, but I don't need any info regarding licence conversion or anything like that, I would just like some feedback from former MEIR students regarding their experiences and advice about the course.

Not a problem!!! I have done both my ATPL's and JAA CPL out here in Naples, Florida, and a number of colleagues of mine have already started the IR conversion at PTC in Eire. The managing director of PTC, Mike Edgeworth, came out here a few months ago and explained to us all that it is a simple thing to do. I also know of 4 Irish guys thats did the same back in early 2005, and all 4 are now training on the 737-800 with Ryanair!
