JC, I don't think anyone has it yet in full here in Australia - I haven't heard of one, but apparently Alteon in Brisbane and our Civil Aviation Safety Authority has already started to train people to get the MPL. I suppose it's only a matter of time now.

However, I don't know which airline they would be training on.
I'm not sure if QF will allow it as they are still running their normal cadet scheme but we have LCC's like Jetstar and Virgin Blue who might as they are using A320s.
This would replace the traditional cadet pilot programmes here.

Just on a different topic, it's very common here that people pay for their own type rating ( A320, B734/8/9s ) and get a job with Richard Branson's red horses of Virgin Blue. However, they still have the normal "Frozen"ATPL or full ATPL, not MPL at this time. But who knows.....
