We have had no details on either the full cost of the course, which must include a TR, or the terms of employment thereafter. Why be so negative without a single fact to back it up?
After 1500 hours the MPL can be converted into a normal ATPL - just like the CPL/IR route - this equates to just 2 years in easyJet at 750 hours per year. After that you have a full ATPL and possibly the most marketable and useful TR in the world. Quite the opposite of the picture you are painting.
