just want to share
1. MPL is ICAO inititative. MPL is not yet recognize here in the Philippines to be clear. Air Transportaion Office (ATO) is aware of the ICAO regulation but it is subject to host country acceptance to be legally binding and recognized. SO far, theres no papers from ATO recognizing MPL. So the license issue is still in limbo.
2. Cebu PAC (flight operations department per se) does not believe in this Clark Institute Aviation MPL concept. This scholarship program is the brainchild of the Cebu PAC senior consultant Mr Brian Hogan to address pilot exodus from CEBU PAC. He's not an aviation enthusiast, yet he decide absurd things w/out thinking . to tell you the truth Pao, Flight OPS is in limbo on how to accept this inexperienced and safety risk MPL graduates to the line.
3. To other MPL students, job opportunities for you guys are very limited although you are A-320 sim rated. No airlines will accept you because of your experience level.it happen before in Europe and Middle East with the S.O.and 3rd officer from PAL and Cathay.
4. To parents and interested students palnning to go to Clark Institute Aviation, think over. The prospect may be bright due to the A-320 openings all over the world but this only applies for an already pilots, experienced pilots that is holder of Commercial Pilot License or ATPL but not MPL. You might put into waste your 3M pesos. You must need to monitor and watch out how will the graduates of the 1st batch of MPL students will fare and survive in the aviation business. Be aware that CIA has not delivered what it promises to make you A-320 certified within 1 year. Until now, the 1st batch with are almost a year in training is still on its ground trng phase and not yet in flying portion. Everybody is affected down the line.The prospect now is not on tyhe horizon. And parents, please dont believe on the advertisement on newspapers that guarantee you employment at ceb PAc, its a big no no.it is marketing strategy on the part of the school to entice students. Cebu pac might have scholars there (an error admitted by Mr Hogan), but the issue on how to integrate the graduates into the line is creating boardroom battle among the top mgmt in the company.
Till here.
