You are right, there are many unanswered questions about the MPL.. my advice is to wait till december as a group of Gulf Air auditors are going to check Clark Aviation and hopefully if they come back with good results the school will be approved by Gulf Air and the BDB will recommend the choice. About the MPL, ICAO approved the license and no one can deny it. Plus, when it comes to the type rating, I have one question: what does the basic flying in small aircrafts help you with during the type rating? I guess nothin..
