As far as I know, after 1500 hours, the MPL-trained pilot gets a full ATPL with no restrictions and can dedicate himself/herself to other kind of flying if he/she wants to.
Explain to me how a MPL holder goes about getting a job other than an airline job without 1500 hours and an ATPL.

Frankly I wouldn't even consider employing an ATPL holder that had been through the MPL route for any single pilot or non airline type of operation. They wouldn't have the skill set required.

The MPL is good for one thing and one thing only, multi crew operations. Even then I have reservations.

The MPL dumbs down the professional pilot licence, and is a means to drive down conditions. It is an accountants solution to a perceived lack of pilots while at the same time reducing costs.
