I am lower hour'd / less experienced but flying for a small AOC, its frustrating CTC / OAA get in the way of people like myself or instructors being able to apply directly for Monarch or EZY.
The CAA should start looking into those training schools relationships with some airlines and self employed contractor model. Its all about money and business between those training schools and the airlines, stopping others who trained else where or people with proper experience on type. The MPL will affect those experienced folk too.
