------ an ATPL explicitly (in case of CASA) stipulates the conversion of CPL too, which an MPL graduate won't have...
Risk,
Re-read the rules in their entirety, after all, most of the detail for the MPL was developed here in AU ---- you can go (and that is what is intended) from an MPL to an ATPL.
As far as I know, little or nothing has been done by CASA to look at what extra would be needed to get a CPL issued (or a PPL, for that matter) to an MPL holder ---- let alone any decision.
Bloggs,
Have a guess, first clue, they are not small operators. If you choose to assume that my failing to accede to you request/demand mean it ain't true, assume what you like.
I wouldn't mind taking a small bet that, within say 5 years, all airline cadet courses in Australia that start with ab nitio training will be MPL courses --- because this is what the MPL was designed for.
At this stage, the lack of understanding of the MPL is widespread amongst "traditionally trained/mistrained" management pilots as it is Australian pilots in general.
Remember, the world didn't end when the SCPL was erased, despite protests about it's absolute necessity in the general scheme of things.
Tootle pip!!
