The advice about becoming familiar with the airspace in which one is going to take the CPL and IR seems sound. As soon as I get some stability in my location I will heed that advice, and identify the best school within the area. The reality is, of course, that I will not be starting the CPL and IR for almost two years (assuming a twelve month period for ATPL distance learning course)and my employers will definately have moved me (at least once) by then, hopefully within the UK!
Thanks to all for the contributions.
