No problem - knowledge is power in these types of situations so best to share when possible. When I get the call from CAE I will try and not sound sarcastic when I tell them it's probably not in my best interest to pay more for an ATPL with less job prospects at the end than the MPL. I think I will go do my PPL now - even if in 12 months Easyjet decide to reopen recruitment having a PPL won't do me any harm.
