Lolo, I got to agree with Betbump. The point is that, being a self-sponsored cadet, will the MPL you will possess be enough to land you a job...more specifically, at Cebu Pacific. When you do finish your training and get offered a job by Cebu Pacific, Great!! But what if they don't? And you do have to think of "the otherside of the coin". You've got to start thinking way ahead here before you end up with only an MPL license with an A320 stamped on it. That is basically what Betbump is trying to say. When he said "Like I have said from the start, any one who has an MPL and is not sponsored by an airline will need to build hours in order to become attractive for when an airline decides to recruit", he was stating a "more than likely" scenario...it is something to think about. You said, "On whose authority do you make this assumption? The MPL will be attractive enough"...bro, I am sure Betbump was stating and suggesting things out of years of general aviation/military/airline experience...but your statement falls just short of arrogance. Tell you what, other than Cebu Pacific, take a look at airline jobs board on the web and then you tell us if what you have "will be attractive enough". Here are some of the websites so that you will have an idea...these are just a few, but there are other sites.
Flight Crew Personnel, Aviation Jobs, Aviation Maintenance Jobs, Flight Crew Jobs- Parc Aviation
Airline Pilot Jobs & Pilot Employment - Rishworth Aviation Recruitment Specialists
Pilot Jobs, Aviation Jobs, Aviation Employment, Career Fairs, Job Fairs

Many of us had made certain decisions in our flying careers that sometimes were for the good, but others for the bad...but then again that's life...there are definitely risks. I think you had made a calculated and well-thoughtout risk when you decided to join that MPL program, which is good...and I hope the very best for you. But like what Betbumps said, do not wait too long for a phone call.

Just my two cents.
