Flybe MPL at Oxford (commences 1 September 2009)

This came up on Tuesday:

Oxford Aviation Training

I am considering applying for this course (if I can get the finance!). I was just wondering if anyone knew anything more about this scheme, or could shed some light on whether an MPL after 1500 hours is as valuable as a fully defrosted ATPL at 1500 hours. In other words, are you as likely to get a job with a jet operator later on in your career with an MPL as with an ATPL?

I am not blind to the fact that the airline industry is in a bad way, but considering this is an airline tailored scheme surely this would be considered a "safe" route into the industry - or am I completely missing the point here?

Apologies if this has been asked before, any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
