Mate, those MPL's you talk about..... You can't substitute experience for a whizz bang integrated to heck license! Even if it comes about with cadets et al Airlines are still going to value experience and learn to target this in recruitment goals.
I like many others have worked in the bush, flown planes that look like they would best be placed in a junkyard and whinged about how crap my current gig was. Am now flying turbine freight so progressing somewhat but still find myself over eager to attain it all before i'm 30. Bide your time and the fruit will appear on the tree my friend.
Its just like recruiting taxi drivers in Bangalore, experience wins at the end of the day, put the runs on the board and relax!
Oh and yeah if any virgins are reading this and wanna give me a call, go ahead!
