It is a selling argument for Boeing. If you produce toy airplanes. And you want to sell those all over the world.
you have to make sure that there are enough batteries to go with your toyplane. Otherwise the toyplane does not work.
So, Boeing is makeing sure that the supply of pilots will not dry out by promising big pilot numbers.
As long as there are pilots sleeping in carparks and paying for their training there is no pilot shortage. Boeing likes
to keep the market as it is. Cheap pilots/Batteries will sell their toy airplanes better than expensive Batteries/Pilots.
Same is valid for Airbus.
MPL was invented by Boeing. With their training provider Alteon. If you want to sell Airplanes, you need pilots.
cheap and a lot.
