MPL timing (merged)
Did a search but couldn't find any info so apologies if this has been discussed before.
Does anybody know what the proposed timing is regarding the introduction of the new MPL license??
It doesn't seem to be discussed too much on pprune but couldn't it represent a fundamental shift in the route to the RHS for many folks out there?
Are we talking 1-2 years, 3-5 years or +5 years before this scheme is meant to be introduced?
Also if the airlines end up preferring this route where does it leave the smaller commerical training schools with limited access to full flight simulators?
Would be a pain to go down the modular route, splash out a load of cash buzzing a SEP and then a light twin around only to then have a brand spanking new MPL licence come out that is flavour of the month with the airlines leaving us low hour "old fATPLs" even further down the pecking order!
