I read before, that the MPL does not limit on a specific aircfraft.

You're wrong!

It is limited on a specific aircraft of course.

Sorry it is in french from Canada, but there is a recent article about the new licence (rubbish in my opinion) and a lot of pilots are sceptical:

" Le 23 novembre 2006, l’Organisation de l’aviation civile internationale (OACI) a autorisé ses pays membres à inclure dans ses règlements de l’air un nouveau type de certification, la licence de pilote en équipage multiple (ou MPL pour multi-crew pilot licence).

Le titulaire de ce brevet pourra occuper la fonction de copilote dans un type d’appareil précis, à la suite d’une formation intensive d’un minimum de 240 heures, sur des petits avions et des simulateurs de vol. Un élève-pilote qui réussira la formation pour un Airbus 340, devra travailler uniquement sur ce type d’appareil. "

use tanslator.
the last sentence means : a student pilot who passed the course on A340 will only have to work on this aircraft.

I read the whole article, they will use Full flight for the course.

In fact, a student pilot who want to fly a 737, will do a course on full flight 737.

here the link of the article. sorry it is in french, but i guess, or i hope that many people learned french at school
