Question ATPL Distance Learning or Residential

Hi people,

I'm coming to the end of my MEng Aero Eng degree soon, and am looking at Riverside Flight Centre to fulfill my dream of becoming a pilot.

I've been in the academic environment (lectures etc) for the past 4 years (not including college!) and I believe in myself that I could do the distance learning option, but I'm wondering if i would be better off going to do the residential option since I've had loads of experience of doing lectures etc.

I am definately strong enough to resist the temptation to go out on the lash as my efforts during my 3rd and 4th year have proven this to me.

Has anyone been in a similar position to me?

Any comments/input would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve


(also - I know this might be the wrong place, but has anyone been to Riverside and had any problems with not having any MCC time? Tony Cornish said that it was possible to get the MCC time whilst training for a type rating with an airline when(/if) I get employed? not saying he's a liar as he seems like a good bloke, but any comments on this would be appreciated)
