MPL is more airline ready than fATPL
The fATPL is very useful for flying a light twin with a 6-pack display as single crew in IMC, although strangely the JAA dont allow it for air-taxi until you are more experienced notwithstanding the money you have spend. (700 hrs)
In contrast the MPL will allow you to become immediately productive on course completion in a multi-crew glass cockpit airliner using the multi-crew instrument rating.
The MPL is a co-pilot entry licence. The fATPL is really a CPL and is done on light aircraft so requires more cash spending to get the pilot up to speed.
Is the MPL low-cost that is the question? One supposes some will see it as a revenue stream
And will direct money to airlines rather than to traditional flying schools
