Arrow Any schools that offer multi-crew pilots license course.

Hi guys!

Do you know if there are any schools in the US that offer this type of course? Or is it too early to ask? Since this a new thing.

As quoted from this website:

http://www.atwonline.com/channels/sa...articleID=1428

"The MPL would see trainees moving into the right seat of high-performance jet transports with just 240 hr. of instruction. Of this, only between 60 and 120 hr. might actually be in the air and the student would have performed just 12 takeoffs and landings in the type he or she is to fly. The MPL is designed to bypass the training for the current commercial pilot certificate with instrument rating and let the trainee head directly for the "frozen" airline transport pilot license."

This sounds very interesting. Some may see it as a short cut others may see it as an opportunity to fly the big jets as soon as one can.

What do you guys think?
