I am very sorry indeed to hear this. My five cents are that you should check with the flight school whether this situation classifies as grounds for them to provide some free additional training to convert the MPL into a frozen ATPL. I know that on past occasions this was done whenever the integrity of the airline was deemed to be at risk (e.g. during one of the past FlyBe crises). I don't know whether it will work this time round, but anyways, good luck!
