Bear in mind that it is difficult to get a balanced reply here.
The MPL probably represents one of the greatest threats to the UK flight training industry. Poor old little snoring flying club is already struggling to get people through the doors with their current prices when it is so much cheaper to head to the US or further abroad and get what it says on the tin in a fraction of the time. Then along comes the MPL which will take away a lot of their target market. They will be left with the guys/gals who don't want to go down the commercial route, your working types that do an hour here and an hour there and take a good year or two to get the PPL. Typically they will drift away after a while as work and family commitments dictate. More so if we hit a correction in the economy.
