That would be quite a struggle for some, as one might not be able to make real social Interactions in the programme and feel overwhelmed (if you are not prepared). Which dates are you going to the HQ?
I'm scheduled for the end of April. March first is soon! Good luck
I'm curious what the group assessment is like, since it's only 30 minutes I think.
I do not know the finer details about the difference licenses available, but I think I've read somewhere that an MPL could be converted to an (f)ATPL with just a little bit of extra training. The theory is, after all, the same. Especially with the TR that you'll get at TUI Fly, and the hours you log in the 8 months that you'll work for them, I'm sure everything is not lost when you don't get another offer after these 8 months.
Anyway, I think TUI Fly is spending a considerable amount of money on us on their end as well: I can't imagine that the 50k covers the entire training, and I can also not imagine that they would invest in students and an entire MPL programme, only to find some people for the summer period and then wave them goodbye again. But of course, that's speculation.
