Hi
Just to clear some things up.
If you have a MPL you are not restricted to a specific airline. I have a MPL(and a CPL), and í'm with my second airline flying on my MPL.
According to JAR-FCL 1. The difference to MPL and CPL are as follows.
CPL
JAR–FCL 1.150 Privileges and conditions
(a) Privileges. Subject to any other
conditions specified in JARs, the privileges of
the holder of a CPL(A) are to:
(1) exercise all the privileges of the
holder of a PPL(A);
(2) act as pilot-in-command or co-pilot
of any aeroplane engaged in operations other
than commercial air transportation;
(3) act as pilot-in-command in
commercial air transportation of any singlepilot
aeroplane;
(4) act as co-pilot in commercial air
transportation
MPL
(a) Privileges. Subject to any other
conditions specified in JARS, the privileges of
the holder of a MPL(A) are to:
(1) exercise all the privileges of the
holder of a PPL(A), provided that the
requirements for the PPL*(A) specified
in Subpart C are met.
(2) exercise the privileges of a
CPL(A), provided that the requirements
for the CPL(A) specified in JAR-FCL
1.155(d) are met.
(30 exercise the privileges of the
IR(A) in a single-pilot operation in
aeroplanes, provided that the licence
holder shall have demonstrated an
ability to act as pilot-in-command in a
single-pilot operation exercised solely
by reference to instruments by
completing specific training at the
discretion of the Authority and meeting
the requirements as set out in JAR-FCL
1.210. The Authority may be guided as
to the credits to be granted on the basis
of a recommendation from a FTO;
(4) exercise the privileges of the
IR(A) in an aeroplane required to be
operated with a co-pilot; and
(5) act as co-pilot in an aeroplane
required to be operated with a co-pilot.
So basically you are not allowed to fly single pilot in commercial aviation without fulfilling the demands for the CPL. (or PPL for private flying)

Compared to another lowtimer, what do you think pax would prefer. The guy with 20 hours of MCC + 40TR hours(around 260 total with 60MCC) or the guy with 60MCC and 60TR hours? (240 total with at least 120 MCC).
Just a question?
Please don't compare new MPL pilots with experienced CPL pilots.
Kind Regards
