Is it some kind of role play or like a panel interview?
I can't find any information on the internet ...
Many thanks!

What do you mean by the ATPL? for the MPL you have to complete the same ATPL theory than for the CPL, isn't it? As for the licenses, CPL and MPL, you get an ATPL when you reach requisites with either of both licenses, am I wrong?
Afaik, the MPL differs from the CPL (both in its modular or integrated variants for the CPL) in the sense that it requires less hours of real flight, and more of simulators. As well as that your whole MPL is linked to the airline and, if you move before getting the ATPL, you lose everything.
Correct me if I an wrong, please.

An MPL can not be self sponsored. You can only do an MPL with an airline, and then your license is specifically for that airline on that aircraft until such a time as you meet the requirements to unfreeze at which time it does become an ATPL. But until then, you are restricted to that airline and that aircraft (as far as I know, you can't take the type rating to another airline but they are so new I am not sure this has ever been tested)
In either case the ground school (14 ATPL subjects) are the same.

That's assesments over for this week. Total 236 to assesments this year out of 7800 applicants.
18 spaces, 3 courses (x2 November, x1 Jan).
Friend of mine questioned if it was MPL or ATPL and was told it was yet undecided.

I've still not had a 'no' email yet, checked both my main inbox and spam folder as well. Bit strange because I'm definitely expecting a 'no' considering all of the assessments are currently underway. Maybe expecting one next week, even though it's almost implied at this stage?
