How many MPL candiates are there out there? Only really those trained by Sterling, who were pre-selected anyhow, look what happened to them..
A few questions in one:
There are more MPL candidates flying around. MPL as a name is new (2006) but as a concept it's nothing new. Look at FTO's like KLM, Lufthansa etc..so not only those from Sterling. And believe me, i fly with them so i can tell.
The MPL pilots from Sterling were fired together with other pilots as part of a reform plan. So i don't think it's fair to say that it's just the MPL candidates.
Trying to blow MPL's trumpet because you have an interest in MPL training by any chance?
Yes, i do have an interest in MPL training. Because as i said earlier:
i've experienced that MPL cadets perform well above standard during the line-training
The MPL is Competency based and very effective if implemented right. But it definitely has a downside because of the lack of knowledge (about the subject) or greed (by organisations who just want to earn money).
