See that link. That is one proof that MPL can be sponsored. If airlines do that then they will only take the number of students that they need.
I am sure that in the future at some point Air Arabia will be saturated with MPL students.
Airlines now treat pilot training just like and MBA or engineering degree that the student must pay himself before he can be eligible for a job. Thats the hard fact.
You cannot compare them! MBA and engineering degrees are MUCH cheaper! MBA in the US at the BEST unis only cost $40k and that includes the living costs.
IN AAG the course costs about $120k not including the extra money we need to spend when we sign on with Air Arabia. It also does not include any living costs!
So yeh AAG is more expensive than those programmes!
Hell it is as expensive as becoming a doctor and that course takes 6 years :S
