Probably the right way to go. Easy to achieve by requiring a full ATPL to sit in either seat of an aircraft over 5700 kg. Training route in being either that or the Airline mentored MPL. If it rebalances the market then it will spur the airlines to make those programmes achievable to a greater cross section.
