MPL / ATPL Conversion

Hi guys, while flying back to Sharjah, one of the X-Clark MPL holder (an ABY FO) was with me as a Passenger & we discussed this matter, here is what I know as a fact:

Fact 1: Surprisingly, all of the MPL holders (X-Clark) who joined ABY 20 months ago, are converting their licenses to ATPL, so we might here the news in the coming few weeks.

Fact 2: For the guys who converted their foreign MPL license to a GCAA one (as in X-Clark case), in order to upgrade it to ATPL, they need to go through an ATPL Course & Examination(s) again. While if the MPL was originally issued from UAE GCAA (AAG Sharjah), there's no need to go through the ATPL ground school or exams again...the rest stays the same from my 3rd last post
