Well Australia is on its way to approving it. All early students of all of the MPL schools will be closely monitored during and after they complete the program by the international aviation community. After the first classes graduate and they start flying we will see if the program has any value. 12 months of training is alot of time if the program is well thought out and presents the right information.
