Your arguement that people should have experience is valid, but who can afford
to just hours bash? Only the well off
Not really V2, how do you think the industry managed before the days of P2F and MPL? We got our licences and then went off and got a job flying light twins, often overseas, until we had enough hours for an airline to even look at us, others took the Intructing route. Don't know if they still do it but QANTAS had the right idea, after cadet training go off to get 1500 hours on light stuff as PIC then back to the airline.
As far as I can see all the MPL will produce are inexperienced systems operators who will become experienced systems operators and eventually competent co pilots, just that, not potential captains.
