Online classes have their plus and minuses just like anything else. I am about to finish my second year at Utah Valley State College and have only one more year left to go.

This past year I have been flight instructing full time while carry about 17 units on average which keeps me pretty busy. I go to work, come home to do school work, then wake back up the next day and do it all over again. I still have social time, just not as much as I would like to enjoy. That being said, it does take self motivation to sign on every night to do your homework and not get behind in class (sucks when that happens).

I could not tell you what it is like being on the road while doing school because I don't work for the airlines yet. Come April I will start throwing my resume out and see what I can get; if it looks good then I'm going to take it and just try to do school at the same time. I don't think much will change.

So maybe this summer you should try and take a few credits and see how it works out for you. See if you need to go back to campus for another semester or if you can just do it online.
