IMHO this is very questionable. Also disgusting. A lot of learning is done by experience. You can only learn so much in a sim, allthough they have become very realistic. It`s the next step from the buy-your-own-rating scams.

2 questions;

- They never fly solo, not even as students, so how sure of themselves can they be?
- One day there will be a upgrade to captaincy... how can this be done without ever having truly commanded an aircraft before?

Is the MPL the same as an F/E with a yoke/sidestick? An F/E with landing privileges?

As with all things in aviation... it takes an accident
