Its not surprising that Cabair don't like the MPL, they are very poorly placed to deliver it. The MPL will be driven by the TRTOs who have the simulators, not the likes of Cabair and OAT. I think you can expect a fair bit of spin and bluster.
Consider the MPL this way. Which has more value, 10 hours in a B737 sim or 10 hours boring holes in the Florida sky in a C152?
