When the MPL comes in is it going to obselete the ATPL or is it going to be a lower licence? I find it disturbing that pilots are going to be trained largely on aircraft specific sims in a multi crew capacity without having to do anything else. How are the valuable lessons learnt through basic flight training going to be learnt with the MPL, it just seems like a pointless idea to me. There is no shortage of inexperienced pilots.
