mattd2k,
Thank you. I do not have a MCC at this point and obviously I wouldn't get a second one... Makes sense.
Fair_Wx_Flyer,
That is VERY interesting what you're saying there and considering the fact that successful candidates are unlikely to be offered a job in the upcoming months after completion of their AQC is certainly making that scheme less attractive.
Now, here's my dilemma: Without a MCC I have made it into the holding pool for a TP job with a European regional. I was told to expect to start my TR in early 2010, if I get lucky at the end of this year. At this point, it's unclear who pays for the TR. If it turns out that I'd have to, what's the point in doing an overpriced, restrictive MCC before? What would you guys do?
