MPL

My understanding of the awful predicament MPL trainees find themselves in, is that EZY have “pulled the plug” i.a.w. the contract. Force Majeure.
It is not as if the airline has paused the training with the prospect of resumption when ever.
Without their agreement, it is simply not possible to continue the course, as phase 4, the type rating conducted by the airline or contractor, with base training then conducted by the airline itself.
They are hardly going to reach the point of licence issue and then not continue with the line training.
When EZY recognised the impact of the tsunami, they took the unfortunate but correct decisive action.
A significant number of their pilots will suffer CR if recent reports are correct.
Recency is clearly a critical issue. Some might decide to pay for the first LPC post employment?
Crystal balls will remain opaque until at least 2021. What will improve acuity is a vaccine; also market confidence which will be dependent upon continued employment for the general public.
If CR significantly threatens them, the economic cycle will fall of a cliff.
Market confidence will be the catalyst to an economic upturn.
Boris was hoping for a ‘V” shaped recovery. Probably closer to a “U” shaped one?
