Regardless of what IATA say the MPL license is still not accepted everywhere so now IATA is wrong and
Mr. vfenext is right !...
The MPL was designed to allow a very strictly supervised and abbreviated course in order to fill shortages in the pilot population quickly. It must be supervised and preferably sponsored by an airline. and it is so by Air Arabia and GCAA so whats the issue.
After 1500 hrs you get a normal GCAA ATPL with A320 line time... my job is to inform you its your call take it or not up to you..
