Hi all,
On 25th March I went to the Flyer Professional Training Exibition, as many of you no doubt went to.
On the front cover of the Flight training newspaper, it stated that JAA are now going to introduce the MPL to replace the ATPL. I am therefore a little concerned about this as will this mean that there will be a big difference between the licenses gained in non JAA countries and thus conversions will involve a lot of extra flying etc, to that at the moment. Also, are the people who have gained a JAA ATPL going to be at an dissadvantage to those with the MPL, as the new license is closer to what the employers are looking for, or will those with a MPL be at a dissadvantage as the license is new and hasnt proved that it is any good. Also, the MPL will only have about 70hours actual flight time, the rest will be done in a sim, and so the employer will want more actual flying before they consider employing anyone.
Has anyone got any more information on this, and any advice?
Cheers,
Pliottom
