MPL Captain?
Hello following this thread with a lot of interest, have some questions:
does an MPL reach Captain in Easyjet MPL program?
after 1500 hours you’ll get a ATPL? Can you change to another airline or they don’t like this type of licence coming from a MPL program?
many thanks

Getting the licence is quite easy - actually getting promoted to captain is another matter and usually involves getting 3000+ hours, good sim scores and passing a command assessment, course and line training.

An MPL is basically a CPL/IR but limited to multi pilot aircraft. After 1500 hours you can take an ATPL skill test to get an ATPL just like a CPL/IR holder can. Since an ATPL is a multi crew only licence - the only difference is your ATPL will not give you CPL or PPL single pilot privileges - you can only fly as a crew. In the airline world that doesn't matter. If you move airlines with an ATPL and time on type they probably won't give a shit whether you're integrated, modular, MPL or what your ATPL results were, all they care about is time on type.

The issue is “probably won't give a shit” it’s not totally guaranteed, If one wish to go longhaul MPL Easyjet might be risky….or not?

Ok I'll go further. Definitely won't give a shit. Exams results and training schools only matter to your first employer, because they have nothing else to go on.
