They have something called an MPL, multi pilot`s license. Pretty much the same as the CPL-IR but without really doing the CPL-IR. They want to bring students from ab initio up to F/O 737 directly. But I fear this also means F/O forever with an MPL if you don`t do some extra courses. And extra courses, when you already are flying, is time consuming and a pain in the hole at the end up your back
But since they`re going through with this, they probably need some pilots in the near future. Probably not getting too many pilots willing to pay for their rating nowadays
