At least you end up with a job.
Who told you that? The sponsoring airline has to be involved in the training process and is responsible for the line training but has no responsibility to employ you at the end of the process.

Correct BB, but it would be rather wasteful of an airline to invest all that time and effort in training cadets if they didn't employ them on graduation.

So, while they don't 'owe' you a job, it's prob 90 you will be employed, which makes the route rather more secure than taking a punt on a traditional integrated course, hoping that the airlines will be desperate for low hours pilots by the time you graduate.

If I was committed to undertake an integrated training course now, I'd opt for the MPL, especially as those currently running offer re-training to traditional CPL/IR if the airline reneges on their promise of employment.

But, then again, I wouldn't, as I'd go modular.

The Airline dont charge them for the MPL, that goes to the training provider. The airlines provide the type rating which is included in the cost.
