Is the fATPL Dead?

Now BA, Monarch, Flybe, Easy et al have perfected their own excellent variants on the MPL scheme - and made it self sponsoring, why would any aspiring wannabee spend money on an fATPL? Will there be any jobs for integrated or modular fATPL's?
As for fATPL instructors how do we get MPL accredited? Or will we be left competing in the weekend market with the (unpaid and cheaper) 200 PPL instructors coming on stream next year?
I'm not knocking the MPL, it does reflect modern operations and the ATPL badly needs to brought into the modern world, but the MPL seems to be one of those large elephants in the dark training room.
