stue and Alex your right.
Scroggs mentioned that he feels that the MPL needs alot of changes and modifications. This is also true. The total removal of all SE and ME VFR/IFR flying is not such a great idea. Burning holes in the sky when you could be doing this in a A320 or B737 sim highlights this issue. So perhaps instead why not remove most of the SE flying but leave the fundamental basics that we all need - this also gives the novice a bit of "pilot" perspective that will, together with good quality consistant sim training hopefully make a better pilot.
