I'm kind of tired of the MPL-bashing on this site. Yes we fly less on the SEP, that does not necessarily make us any less of pilot.

I have flown 75hrs SEP > Yes i know what a PFL is. I have 150+ glider hours as well, so a PFL is not unheard of.
Of those 75hrs, 5 were UPRT in an extra 300, so yes we know what an extra is.

To say we all lack stick and rudder is a bit short-sighted in my opinion. We didn't fly single engine on a multi engine piston no, but believe me, I've done more then enough of them in a 737/320 sim, which one could argue, is more relevant to your engine failures as an airline pilot.

Lack airmanship of and independant thinking, again big words. I don't think our airmanship or independent thinking at the end of our MPL is any less than a CPL cadet finishing their type rating. If these are your experiences with MPL, then I suggest your airline has done a **** job training them to the correct standard.
