It is where the course is taught towards the end objective of producing an airline pilot with low experience levels. As well as the generic knowledge, the airlines (specific and general) standard operating procedures and philosophies are also ingrained into the training regime. This happens up and down through the entire syllabus and allows for the succesful transition into this type of flying at this level of experience.
That sounds a bit like an MPL to me, not the best idea in the world.
When people start focusing on procedures and philosophies first rather than basic skills then things go to !!!!.
See AF447 for details.
