I agree with most of what Private Jet says re the "product", the MPL is far more relevant to the modern cockpit than the CPL/IR - Frozen ATPL.

There is much misunderstanding about the MPL and one of them being that the MPL holder is tied to that operator. An MPL holder can change types AND operators with a full type conversion course with the new operator.

Unfortunately the first MPL students graduated just when the latest aviation dip started and at the moment there are many high hour pilots available. Low hour frozen ATPLs are having problems finding jobs, not just MPLs.
