Canada?s Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) - Transport Canada
Canada is starting to welcome MPL licence, which in other words is a scheme to get cheap cadets with no experience. (No experience= cheap employee).
The US FAA is already under a tremendous pressure from ALL the feeder/regional US airlines due to possible pilot shortage in the near future and there are now 3 solutions to keep their business on:
-To increase pilots salaries.... No way
-To cancel the 1500 hours rule... I really doubt
-To approuve the MPL licence program that allows type rated cadets in the cockpits...and that is very likely to happen.
CTC is aiming to grab this highly lucrative market and this is the right time for them to get set up in the USA.
