It is actually an ATPL. we were thinking an MPL program like you, but the company clearly stated that it will be an ATPL. Yes the company is behind us, in fact they will regularly visit BAA to inspect both cadets and academy (training and everything). I think BAA promised a training time to the company and idk what will happen if any delays occur. the meetings between BAA and the company took months.
We heard if Turkish Airlines finds training good, they might send new cadets in future.
