Don't worry about the MPL. Its a dead end license. Some say that Flybe like having the contrarian fleet because all their type rated pilots have no other airline to leave to without incurring a new type rating. Being an MPL holder would fit that model.
The thread title and its content don't have to match up too closely when they get this big so, Artie, please stop worrying and leave the forum management to me. Thanks,
