Guys and gals makes sure you take a good look through the small print and see exactly what's in the contract... Particularly what happens if BACF chooses not to take you on after the course is completed. The MPL ties you into flying for BACF after FTE so make sure there's some sort of allowance that will enable you to transfer on to an fATPL scheme should it not work out. Remember the two courses are quite different.
There was a total of 6 students on the last two BACF courses a few years back. Of those only 4 made it through to the airline after finishing at FTE.
