Software Dev's response gives good details, but essentially, if you were hoping to fly for fun, the TUI programme aint it (atleast not on it's own).
If you compare a typical integrated ATPL(f) course with an MPL course, you'd be surprised how little flying you may actually do in the MPL one - it's all about getting you ready to fly the B737/A320 etc, to the specific airline's SOPs.
Thanks for the information. Oh well, hopefully once you gain a few hours and become an SFO at least, it won't be an issue to get PPL on your own
