MPL
It is extremely unfortunate for those who had to self fund their training and then unable to complete with no MPL licence issue, notwithstanding that no jobs existed for the newly qualified pilot.
Declaring yourself bankrupt is one option I have heard of through a third party.
Only Aer Lingus cadets were fully funded by the airline, with a job provided the training was satisfactory.
Any future thought of offering this style of training will need careful safeguards as memories will be long.
There will however always be punters who will take the risk.....
