Hi everyone,
I would like to know how candidates can practice for the computer based testings (ADAPT) held during Stage 2 of the selection process with CAE Oxford Aviation Academy. Do you know and recommend any online preparation software to practice before attending the assessment?
Many thanks in advance

Interesting. I have a friend who did a research paper on the MPL, and when it was done (last summer), there hadn't been any upgrades to the LHS from MPL route guys. Although I originally put this down to the MPL not being around that long, it would be interesting to know if there have been any upgrades since.
When you obtain the ATPL at 1500hrs do you still have the same opportunities as other conventional ATPL holders?

This isn't true I'm afraid. Airlines hire future Captain's for a start. There is plenty of factual information available on the MPL. I would recommend the BALPA website. In my opinion an evolution of the MPL type of competency based training will become the norm in the future.

A320ECAM, with the mpl you will be forever on the right side, you cant be upgraded to captain nor apply for other company because the mpl is addapted to the company in which you are being instructed so... You can figure out why is the other way better than the mpl.
1500 hours = ATPL.
Minimum hours for command is 3500 factored. By then any MPL cadet will have a full ATPL and will, of course, be able to upgrade. Why would any airline recruit people who will only sit in the RHS? You are all being recruited as future captains.
Also, MPL pilots with only 500 hours have moved from easyJet to BA. It is NOT airline specific. The airline simply needs to add MPL as an accepted licence type into their OMs.

I jumped straight to the history of the MPL section in that document and the first line I read was
"Ab-initio training in light propeller single-engine (SE) and multi-engine (ME) aircraft (normally delivered
by instructors without airline experience – and sometimes motivated to build their own hours),
graduating with a Commercial Pilot License and Instrument Rating"
Whilst it may be true, I can't help but get the feel there is an agenda here ...

Well, was kinda wrong... More ways to pay to the airline in order to flight, right?
About ez, how is going on with the ICAO lvl 6? Is that a must or is it just to intimidate?

jordanmurry,
Are you totally sure that OAA are only doing the Amy Johnson initiative for loan underwriting? There was an event at OAA with EZY yesterday on the 26th, hopefully someone who attended can clear things up.

I was at the event yesterday and they said they may underwrite loan for male candidates as well, outstanding one obviously.
No other detailed except they are more willing to underwrite TR as they don't have to keep the money in the treasury to long.
From my personal opinion, don't count on it, it's pretty unclear and I guess that's going to be quite the exception

I spoke to OAA regarding underwriting when the scheme initially opened and they simply said, they will not be underwriting applicants, excluding the Amy Johnson Initiative... two schools cannot do it at once. CTC are allowed, but OAA are not. This may have changed.. but that's what I got told.

I have heard they will under write the 'outstanding' applicants, but will lean towards the TR far more. From what I gathered, do not count on being underwritten. It sounded like a very small amount of people, possibly around 1% of all successful applicants.

I've never seen or heard anything official about men studying at OAA being eligible for course cost underwriting - it's BBVA, savings or "bank of mum and dad"!
I'm fortunate enough (and old enough...) to have got just enough equity in the house to be able to use it as security so hopefully BBVA will accept me.
EZY_FR I've sent you a PM, hope you don't mind
