Hey Guys
I posted a comment on the FlyBE thread but I think it may be more relevant here.
I have a concern in the fact that I am going to start my prof pilot studies late next year and I would dream of a job with FlyBE. I love their outfit and they seem a very decent, reputable employer who are keen on low hours pilots.

My Concern.. With this MPL...
Is the fact that it makes perfect business sense to any airline, you get someone who will stay at the airline, you start the cadet training the airline way from day1. But its a grey area at the moment and my big worry is that I would start on either inte or mod course next winter and then be qualified say beg 2011 being a low hours pilot with a CPL/ ME/ IR/ MCC but half way through your training all the airlines say that they will only take new pilots via their MPL schemes and as a new traditional fATPL holder 6 months later you have no route into any airline as I am sure this MPL would catch on if it is a success.

This is a big concern to me. What does everyone else think?
