A MPL qualified pilot can still apply to other airlines operating that same type. It is individual airlines policy as to if they accept MPL qualified pilots not a regulatory bar. I believe airlines do need to ammend the relevant section of the ops manual to cover mpl entrant. As MPLs hold a MPA type rating there is no reason another type rating cant be added, again it is down to individual airlines accepting the mpl qualification. While it is true a mpl is only qualified to operate as a FO on the type the course was based, they can still add the SEP rating to the MPL with the gap training and skill test. All mpl courses are different in content but most include single engine training equivalent to a ppl/sep.

Most mpl courses were self funded but tagged by the associated airlines. The mpls at CAE are in a 2 year hold pool with Easyjet.
