I'm in the exact same position as the Original poster, but I have read that an MPL course is very risky? For example, under Generation EasyJet at CAE OAA, if you were to complete an MPL and begin work for easyjet, you are stuck with them until you unfreeze your ATPL at 1500hrs, and if they have cuts and redundancies and lay you off (apparently the MPL pilots can be the first to go) then you're screwed with a useless MPL that no other airline wants and are £100,000+ in debt. Is this true?
