OK, let's assume that the self sponsored cadets finally finish all the requirement to achieve their MPL certificates. Will they be given a chance by cebu pacific or PAL to apply for a job with the given license?
NO NO NO. And this is what I have been trying to educate people on but as you can see from my post history, I have given up posting here for the past month or so.
With regards to PAL, they have a 1500 hours requirement for a direct entry FO. When PAL require cadet pilots (250 hour pilots), they are taken from PALs Av school. This was the case when I flew in the Philippines and this is still the case now.
PAL will NOT take on any MPL cadet who has just graduated-whether it be from CIA or a European MPL FTO. This is because the MPL FTOs in Europe, i.e FTE and Oxford are SOP specific to their partner airlines. This is how the MPL should be done and is being done in Europe. The advantage of an MPL is you can fly the specific aircraft for a specific airline using their specific SOPs from day 1. This is the beauty of the MPL.
So how do you build those 1500 hours before you can apply to the likes of PAL or any other airline?
Well that is the biggest discussion here and the answer is simple - You can't. The MPL dos not allow you to fly GA (General Aviation). Therefore, you can not build your hours UNLESS you pay for extra ratings. But these ratings will affectively give you a CPL ME/IR. Or put simply a fATPL. That is your answer.
However this is for PAL and any other airline.
Cebu is currently the only airline that could potentially hire non-sponsored MPL cadets out of Clark. This is because the current syllabus is Cebu Pacific SOP specific. So that is the only choice. But why would Cebu hire self-sponsored cadets when they have already given 50% of the course fee to their own sponsored cadets?
At present, no International organisation has constructed a Generic MPL course. This is because airlines do not use generic SOPs. The maths here are simple.
