978,
I don't deny ANY of the things you mentioned, and yes I know, the whole world out there is waiting for us guniea pigs to be integrated into the rest of the ATPL community.
So yes, it's F/O for life, cannot instruct, cannot fly solo, or do anything alone. But the point of the MPL is that it's a stepping stone to an ATPL, and nothing more.
But going back to my original post, I never asked if I could qualify for an ATPL. It clearly mentioned "VALID CASA ATPL".
(To make that statement clearer, the country I fly in has indeed successfully converted my MPL to an ATPL, and I'm flying with that now. I am in the process of converting my current ATPL in to an Aussie one. No help reqd there, and it's not an MPL issue... just a regular conversion.)
I merely wanted to know what opportunities exist at this time for someone with approx 1500 hrs (and counting) A320 time.
Cheers!
