I have no intentions getting into a ****t contest here but as an ex HOT I know a little on he MPL topic. One thing to mention to is to obtain PICUS time is that the host airline needs a aproved program end aproved TRI/Line Cpat ti give PICUS to be legal (Costly) If a MPL looses his her jobb they are on their own as again you need a host airline. A MPL needs a specialiced type rating course. etc etc.... So... My two cents is that MPL is a rather costly course for a lowcost operator. and suites the Legazy carriers better. But again MPL is here to stay.... But know what you are getting into before you start that route is my advice...
