Honest pilot is completely right. Why oh, why ! Would people risk 144 thousand dollars and have the possibility of being dropped with a unemployable MPL. Oh wow you get to upgrade it to a GCAA Atpl......
People you could pay half the money and get a FAA Atpl or almost the same For a JAA frozen Atpl, which will make you far more employable anyway around the world. The people that are on this so called courses must like going to the casino, because it really is a very large gamble. Also for those of you who talk about GCAA Atpl about gaining it in the end, you may get it and then lose your employment. If I was a international recruiter and had Three pilots standing in front of me one with a JAA Atpl, next one with a FAA Atpl and the last with a GCAA Atpl...... The first two would have a large advantage over the last, because I am afraid to say that most employers know they will not have a problem conversions in their country.
