"Airline specific training" is mentioned here, and that`s the heart of the MPL. The student is trained, under the umbrella of a specific airline, for the MPL. This is all fine and dandy as long as things are on track, and the track is stable... Problem is, that the only airline who was doing the MPL (as far as I can remember) was Sterling. And they aren`t around anymore. So where does this leave the MPL pilots rained by Sterling - and according to Sterling SOPs from day 1? My guess would be having to fork up some more hard cash to get a CPL/IR/ME-A to have a spitting chance at landing another job . That`s the industry for you; it`s a long way to the top if you wanna rock`n`roll
