Hi OP - this is interesting. Could you clarify - is this the current plan offered by CAE as an option if EasyJet decide not to take their cadets on, i.e. continue your MPL training and they’ll arrange for another airline to carry out base training for the purposes of issuing an MPL licence?
Or do you mean that if another airline should want to take you on, they would carry out the base training?
The former I would be very concerned about. It effectively makes it a “whitetail MPL” course, presumably with some preference for hiring by EasyJet if recruitment picks up, but no guarantees. Of course this is most beneficial for CAE who get to lock in the profit they make from you completing the course. A better option, if you had a strong preference to stay in the MPL route, would be to pause your training once you’ve completed your ATPL exams and return to it should market conditions improve. Is this an option CAE are offering?
