Thank you very much RVR800
However more questions:
1) What is the package to upgrade to ATPL?
2) If on the flying side, there are apparently some savings (Apparently because a Full Motion Simulator hour costs more than one hour of Diesel Engined aircraft and some american guys have presented the end training of the MPL on jet citation!!!), what about the pakage cost for upgrading to the ATPL? (So we have to compare MPL + package)
3) In the past, before the frozen ATPL, in some countries, we have known some First Officer unable to upgrade their CPL/IR in ATPL. This was creating "social cases", and was not a sane situation. With the MPL is it going to start again? It is not very funny to go back to the Ground school after few years of line activity.
4) All the theoretical knowledge of the JAR syllabus is bring back to an "operational level" + the threat error Management, more or less equivalent to the FAA CPL program +TEM + Ground School of the Type Rating: this is what I have picked up from the presentation done. What is your information on this aspect?
5) Even if originally this idea is apparently European (KLM, Lufthansa), I find quite suspect the rush of the American Companies on this new licence (Three companies making a presentation on the topic)? Is it to bar the JAR licence in order to recover some influence in the Training Industry?
Thank you very much, your opinion appreciated
