Currently, in Oz, a bare bones commercial would cost north of 60K ish.
Assuming that the MPLs will need more than the Kmart endorsement on a jet ( 8-9 sim sessions for 35k ), you would think this MPL will have to be a fair way north of 100k maybe as much as 150k knowing Alteon.

Who the hell is going to be able to afford this or want to pay for this when a ( roughly ) 50-60k a year job is waiting at the end

I really don't see how this MPL is going to help anyone, ( inc the airlines ) apart from a few rich brats getting a bee-line to the right seat of a jet.

As mentioned previously, pilots will not hang around or go to an outfit in the first place, unless they start getting looked after.
The highest bidder will end up with the safest, most EFFICIENT airline, for all of the reasons allready mentioned.
