Mach086,
From reading your reply it seems that you have already made up your mind.
I am a aviaitor.....I happen to drive a Boeing for my job, it pays the bills and can be fun. However I enjoy flying, I try to fly a little Cessna as often as I can as that is REAL FLYING, honest it really is.
I can understand your point that people are struggling to get a job, BUT, and it is a dammed big BUT.... the MPL has to be run in conjuction with an airline and as such it is airline specific.
This means you have to find an airline willing to take you on, which means all the hoops have to be jumped through.
If this is the future you must ask yourself why CTC, Oxford, Jerez and all the other schools are not worried, remember the Chief Pilot of any airline had to learn somewhere as well.
My understanding of the MPL is this, you can only fly one type of aircraft.... so that means for example a Airbus A320 and not any other model of Airbus.
Who told you Airbus has 50% of the market..... there have been over 5000 B737's built and an awful lot of them are still in the air, it is the worlds most popular passenger jet.
