Hi There Mentour Yes my son is now enjoying flying with easyjet on his mpl licence, it was tough for him because he had to go to spain while covid was strong here to get his base training done and then wehen he started with easyjet he had to do more base training but he is now actually in the right hand seat on various routes on the A320 and loving every minute of it. many thanks for asking
@@LBozo_lolhey - I applied but cancelled my spot - a basic level of mathematics and physics and required, and you also have to complete their personality questionnaire. The ADAPT tests include: Fuel burn calculations, speed distance time, NO calculator. It is not particularly challenging. However, given the current climate you should steer FAR away from this course. CAE have majorly screwed up, and have taken up too many cadets with too few instructors and aircraft availability. Reportedly cadets are being sent home midway through their Core flight phase in Arizona and the 18-20 month duration course advertised is taking upwards of 2.5-3 years. Not to mention, there are NO guaranteed jobs. you are not with easyJet until you have a) passed the interview post training (incredibly misleading on their website to state cadets will definitely start with EZY) and b) you pass the final line check. If EZY decide, due to budget cuts they don’t want you, they do not have to take you and you are left with an almost useless license. Very very few airlines with G reg aircraft are taking on MPLs, and even so they require a specific amount of flight time, unlikely to have been achieved in that course. We’ve seen during COVID cadets being dropped like flies with no definitive pathaway with EZY, leaving cadets way out of pocket. Please take our advice and go modular.
Glad I discovered this channel before I go to college really helped me choose my options in order to go for the path of a pilot. Keep up the great work you are very helpful
Your video came on time. I have an interview tomorrow to attend the oxford aviation academy and your chanel (not just this video) answered most of my questions=. Thank you for everything and wish me luck ;)
+Mentour Pilot It was a great and fun experience. They said that I will get a response in the coming days. whatever their response, I would like to thank you again for showering us with great information that will not only benefit future pilots but everyone who has an interest in the the aviation industry...
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for that but i have a question what if i did my MPL with an airline company and i worked with them like for 5 or 7 years then can i be able to work in another airline or not ?
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for how to get pilot license without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got great success with it.
Very helpful video mentour!! But you said that you are not able to work in other airlines with your mpl license. But as I have researched there are some airlines that offer additional training berfore hiring the pilots and after that the pilots can start working using their mpl license in another airlines. And once you have flown 1500 hours you can change your mpl to atpl.
Hi sir all your videos are fantastic and amazing with full of information to the aviation world and i believe we would like to see more of those videos from you. Will you be able to make a video about what are FAA (America) , CAA/JAA (UK) , EASA/CASR (Australia) and what the differences. Why different country using different type. Since you have made those videos about the differences about PPL,CPL,ATPL and MPL it would be wonderful for you to make another one. Thank you alot for your videos and happy landings!
Hi Mentour I'm applying for a company tomorrow.. I have to fill out a form only which they ask me what I think about MPL. So I wanted to thank you for this video!
Hi Mentour, In fact I was off to get in touch with you regarding MPL which is being conducted by many of the major airlines across the world. Thanks for the useful video. I'm an Indian citizen working in Singapore as a Software Engineer for past 4 years. Started my career in IT, as I always wanted to self fund for my pilot training. I'm looking forward to enroll CPL training in USA or Australia by this year end. However, based on my discussions with couple of Airline Pilots, I was advised to go for Indigo Airlines' Cadet Pilot Program which is to obtain MPL(Indigo - One of the leading airlines' in India and not anticipating any economical issues in forthcoming years). However, the cost involved in the training is relatively very high than doing a CPL followed by A320/B737 type rating. Despite of having a secured job at the end of successful MPL trainig, one negative side is that only respective citizens are encouraged to apply for MPL, and in India we unfortunately have only Indigo Airlines who came up with Cadet Program and it's very tough to get the selection after extensive screening out of thousands of candidates. Appreciate if you can advice which one I should prefer. Thanks Pranav
I never knew that MPL is different from ATPL! Thank you for your video! I just have a question: after completing 1500 hours will my MPL license become an ATPL? And, do airlines accept it?
you must apply for an ATPL after reaches 1500 hours. When you get an ATPL, it is just the same as a regular ATPL but with one restriction: you may only fly multi crew.
As for ATC interaction problems, what do you think of services such as PilotEdge and VATSIM? I've been a sim pilot for a while before starting my real-world training, so on my first real flight I handled the radios myself, because it was really an "old hat" for me.
***** They're ATC simulation networks which you plug into with your sim, along with other pilots and ATC. It's essentially a massive online world. VATSIM is world-wide and free, but ATC coverage isn't guaranteed. PilotEdge is pay-to-use (fairly cheap though) and only covers southern California, but ATC coverage is guaranteed, controllers highly trained and they follow regulations 100% "by the book" (in fact, they advertise themselves first and foremost as a real-world training network).
Hey Mentour! Here might be a good topic to talk about in a video. How does one start their own charter/airline buisness? do you need your atpl do fly for your own company?
hellow Captain wonderful videos as always with lots of information and hard work put in . I'd like to add some things if is possible to help us on what way to follow without making mistake : I' ve attended in milan at the Mariott hotel en explanation of MPL program available by Easy Jet and they said that once you've passed their training you go through an holding pool waiting for job by them, generally this takes about from 1 to max 6 month .The important thing is if you suddenly you can't continue the training for any reason they give you back all your money except 5'000 £ , so that's a good thing. the bad thing as you've said is that your airline in which your are training to, has an economic problem an they can't afford to you a job you can't apply to any other company. that's all, have a nice day and waiting for other interesting podcasts as usual captain !! #LoveB737
Yes but it has a multi-crew restriction, so you couldn't - for example - hire a cessna for the day and fly it by yourself. You can only fly for your airline, on the aircraft you are type rated on, unless you go out and get a PPL afterwards
hellow mentour pilot great vids i watch all of them. one quick question are you allowed to pick your own headsets or do the airline do that. thank you have the best job in the world.
Hey mentour pretty nice video. I have a question for you and I hope (if possible of course) you could answer for me In you view point what is the relation between bad weather and fuel consumption ? thanks !!
Hey mentour! I have been wondering if I get my licences and ratings in central america for example, how is the process for FAA or europe to validate my licences to fly or apply for jobs with them?
Hey Mentour, I got a question. I live in Australia and is aspiring to be an airline pilot some day. My question is: what kind of pilot's license would you need to be an airline pilot? A Commercial Pilot's License (or with an instrument rating)? Or an Air Transport Pilot's License? I'm just confused as to what kind of license I would need to be able to be employed as an airline pilot. Thanks in advance.
Hey mentour a few questions, can a pilot with a mpl change airlines and can they become captains. Do short to medium haul pilots such as yourself have layover destinations or are you always back at base. Another great video keep the good work coming
+Mentour Pilot Thanks that's an important information. So let's say that if the specific airline you're getting trained to work for does not incur in economic issues, or stop recruiting from the mpl cadet pool in the meanwhile you're getting trained there shouldn't be any concern. As soon as you finish successfully your training and start logging on hours you're "safe". Then, once reached 1500h you can get your ATPL license issued and joined whatever airline you desire. It is a little bit like the atpl frozen and unfrozen, except that in this case ti have a frozen atoll (or mpl) involve also not being able to apply for any other company.
+Mentour Pilot That's not true. Once you get your MPL you're not bound to any airline and you can take other type ratings from that point too. From the point you get your ATPL you're legaly ready to work as captain but coming from an MPL background you lack PIC hours comparing to a CPL holder. There are ways around that (PICUS) unless you fly a lot on your free time
Hi! MPL is a personal certificate issued by a contracting state to a pilot, without involvement of the operator. I didn't find any annex 1 extract about this when quickly searching just now, but this document from iata should be clear about this: www.icao.int/Meetings/AMC/NGAP/Documentation/MPL%20FAQ%20V1.4.pdf (see point 18). I'm currently undergoing the Swedish MPL programme myself and this has been clearly stated from the school and our contracted airlines; once we have our MPL licenses we are allowed to work in multirew operations as long as it's with the type we're currently rated on. Thinking about it it makes a lot of sense. The alternative would be a license (proving proficiency) that is restricted to operations for a specific company, how weird would that be :-)
Their thesis state that you're not hireable unless you finish your IOE (basically linetraning) with the host airline (section 8.4) and that is the point where you receive your MPL license. I agree, "adaptation to the new airline" is vague but i read it in the lines of company course and base training. I'm fairly certain what I said earlier is true, but I'll come back with some real references after a chat with our head of training :-)
+Mentour Pilot HI Capt! I'm an MPL pilot and what i can say for sure is that our ATPL is frozen until 1500 hrs. Thereafter when it is unfrozen then we can move on to other airlines. Regarding your question, there was a case where an airline had an oversupply of pilots and their mpl students was deemed redundant. The training organisation then successfully placed those students under another airline, so i would say they are "movable" but on a case by case basis.
Hi Mentour. I was wondering if you know what the command prospects are for MPL holders in their airlines and if any additional training is required for an MPL to become an ATPL and if the 1500 hr mark still applies? I read a blog dated 2014 that said no MPL holders had yet become captains which got me thinking... :/ I was wondering as well, if you were unfortunate enough to be left jobless with an MPL, can it be easily converted to a CPL with additional training or would this become very expensive? Thank you!
Hello Mentour! Please can you tell me if having a stiff neck will stop you from getting a first class medical certificate? And is it difficult are the expectations very high etc (please reply)
Hello Mentour, may i ask what dose "A Multi-crew Pilot Licence from QCAA for A320 aircraft type rating" means? Dose it means that you can only fly an A320 aircraft ?
Good moorning Mentour, first of all your channel is really interesting so i hope that you continue with your super videos! I attend a modular programme in Italy, attualy i hold a PPL (A) and i study for ATPL (A) theoretical while i fly for Hour Bulding stage... the flight school is really professional and till the PPL training students are trained to manage themselves and the airplane as in commercial operation/aerial work in terms of procedure guides, checklist, memory items etc. Furthermore the same school provides MCC training on FNTPII simulator.. this to say that, in my opinion, a "classic" integrated or modular programme is a good way to become a pilot also because anyway an applicant for an airline needs to be trained for Type Ratings/SOPs... Just two questions, i have searched and read many times about MPL programmes, Do you think that sometimes this type of training coincides with "Pay to fly" cases? and finally, what about the possibilty to convert MPL in CPL? I continue to follow you, happy landings!
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the answer! I know about the ATPL coversion reaching 1500 hours, my question was related with the worst case that a cadet could find, the possibility that the company (for example) fails before cadets have the conversion requirements! What in this case? Is it necessary to have a traditional training to pass from an MPL to ATPL Frozen CPL+IR? Thank you...
Hey Mentor, have heard rumours that the MPL is 'unlocked' when you reach 1500 hours. Did your research come across this at all? Thank you for the helpful video, really eye-opening!
+Chris Binks from what I've read, it does become an ATPL after 1500 hours or so, but it has some limitations to do with single pilot flying etc... and if you want to do this, you'll have to do some extra training (prehaps a seperate PPL/CPL etc...)
do we only need MPL in order to be a pilot in airline? At my university I have to choose either CPL course or MPL course so do I have to pick MPL course to be a pilot?
Hi there Mentour, my son has got so close to the end of his mpl training, all he neede was his base training with easyjet and they voided his contract because of covid 19 which now leaves my son with a £125k bill and no job no licence, what do we do !!!
hi mentour , can I convert my mpl to an atpl once I finish my 1500 hours line training on an airline, and can I change my work to another airline operating the same aircraft .Thanks
+Mentour Pilot , thanks for the help , I appreciate your reply, one more question , once I finish my mpl and line training can I directly convert to a full atpl with 1500 hours on type , or I need more hours and atpl theory examinations ? Thank you again
Nice Video As Always! I'm 14 and I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now and my dream is to become a pilot and you have answered a lot of my questions and worries so thank you. I am also thinking about going to Oxford Aviation Academy and doing MPL with a sponsor airline, or I might go for a Intergrated ATPL but I'm not sure which one I should do, have you got any advice? Thanks Again and keep up the good videos.
helloo captain, i belong to india and i join air arabia cadet pilot mpl scheme. i will trained and having 250 hours of total time after the agreement with air arbia. now my home country does not have a concept like mpl. its simply not recognized here.. so do i have any chance of employment with home airlines even after having good amount of hours but no cpl but mpl.. please answer my question. i will be reaaly thankful to you..
+Mentour Pilot thanks for your help ! btw can u make a video on students with money situations and if they dont have that much money to pay for flight school?
Thanks mentour..this video series has been of great help... Generally may I know your opinion on mpl lisence issued by alpha aviation academy in coordination with air arabia airline (middle east) Iam from India ...basically. . (An international student )..soo which company is best for doing mpl lisence ...for which iam eligible. .. (12th completed ,18 years old ,holding IELTS certificate. .)
Mentour Pilot, after I do an mpl with a particular airline , then after working for it for some years, will I be able to join another airline????? pls answer, Thanks in advance( your videos helped me a lot)
I think you missed a very important point about MPL. As its name implies it's a multi-crew license and does not allow the holder of an MPL to fly as a single pilot. It seems to me to be a quick fix qualification and lacks the in-depth knowledge and experience taught in the ATPL
Good day Captain, honestly i have some concerns about my current situation in aviation, you seem interested and supportive towards the MPL which makes me as a current CPL/IR ATPL Frozen student feel a bit of relief towards my decision of leaving my current program to join an MPL program, i take your thoughts in mind not just due to the fact that you earned four stripes on your shoulders but you are a certified line training Captain which not many people understand what that is i also do support the fact that the hours the students currently obtain on DA or Pa Cessna is overrated for Airline purpose flight, in the ATPL they told us communication is a major part of accidents history and MPL is the new way to face this issue, also what ever license you obtain , you shall go through a line check by that SOP's are the same and passing requires the same level of cooperation, for more details i am thinking to change to a gulf located MPL training which "promises" 1,500 hours on A320 i've seen some forms talking about the program with a very aggressive way towards that program, people are talking about how they didnt get 1,500 hours, deep inside i think its just Knowledge or cooperation issue from those cadets, to the fact that i checked the online orders, they are currently hiring and also ordering 33 A320's, anyhow Captain thanks for being there for us the new one's, you are very helpful and informative in an easy understanding way (nothing like EASA) if you are interested in more information i'll be sure to deliver, best regards. Hopfully a future F/O Ward.. Fly safe Sir.
@ward are you referring to the Air Arabia MPL program? Were you able to find more information about it. I have heard that they do not have any orders lined up for new aircrafts and they already have a large number of cadets waiting to complete their training. Please be kind to share any more information that you may have gained about this MPL program. My email is shaikhmoiz1@gmail.com. I'm planning to visit the said school in December to get more information and a current state of the situation at the school.
Hi Mentour Amazing videos! Could you do a video podcast on ATPL Thoery, what airlines tend to look for, revising for your ATPL exams, hour building....
The problems i see with MPL, is that you're giving Airlines a huge leverage over their employees. Basicly, as a MPL pilot, you can't really put pressure on the airline when it comes to how their employees are treated. because if they would let you go, you basicly got a worthless licence. Where as an ATPL pilot who has a lot of hours on type, would have it much easier to change company. I would understand MPL if it was a universal licence for airline pilots, where you COULD switch airline, as long as you redo the type rating and learn the new airlines SoPs.
helloo captain, i belong to india and i join air arabia cadet pilot mpl scheme. i will trained and having 250 hours of total time after the agreement with air arbia. now my home country does not have a concept like mpl. its simply not recognized here.. so do i have any chance of employment with home airlines even after having good amount of hours but no cpl but mpl.. please answer my question. i will be reaaly thankful to you..
Gaurav Bansal Hey? i am also thinking to go for Alpha aviation in sharjah. Did you got job in Air araibia as they Guraantee you a job? Also after 1500 you can covert your mpl to atpl which means you can fly for any airline.I did a lot of research man.
Hi There Mentour
Yes my son is now enjoying flying with easyjet on his mpl licence, it was tough for him because he had to go to spain while covid was strong here to get his base training done and then wehen he started with easyjet he had to do more base training but he is now actually in the right hand seat on various routes on the A320 and loving every minute of it.
many thanks for asking

Nice, I wasn't aware of MPL as a scheme!
Hi Mentour I'm applying for a company tomorrow.. I have to fill out a form only which they ask me what I think about MPL. So I wanted to thank you for this video!

its perfect. but i need you to compare and contrast CPL and contrast
like which one is advantages interms of income andquality of job.
Hey!!
Would you recommed doing MPL Or Integerated ATPL?
As for ATC interaction problems, what do you think of services such as PilotEdge and VATSIM? I've been a sim pilot for a while before starting my real-world training, so on my first real flight I handled the radios myself, because it was really an "old hat" for me.

Have your airline created special procedures according going to toilet during the flight? I mean procedures after GermanWings crash?
Hey Mentour! Here might be a good topic to talk about in a video. How does one start their own charter/airline buisness? do you need your atpl do fly for your own company?
can a MPL be upgraded to a ATPL after you get 1500 hours?
thanks
hellow Captain wonderful videos as always with lots of information and hard work put in . I'd like to add some things if is possible to help us on what way to follow without making mistake :
I' ve attended in milan at the Mariott hotel en explanation of MPL program available by Easy Jet and they said that once you've passed their training you go through an holding pool waiting for job by them, generally this takes about from 1 to max 6 month .The important thing is if you suddenly you can't continue the training for any reason they give you back all your money except 5'000 £ , so that's a good thing.
the bad thing as you've said is that your airline in which your are training to, has an economic problem an they can't afford to you a job you can't apply to any other company.
that's all, have a nice day and waiting for other interesting podcasts as usual captain !!
#LoveB737
+Mentour Pilot
you're welcome Captain thank you for having answerd to my post it's a honour for me .
have a nice evening !
if you join the air force and 10 years latter want to become a pilot would u have to obtain all your licences before flying for a commercial airline
quick question
if I have a MPL can I later update it to an ATPL
Yes but it has a multi-crew restriction, so you couldn't - for example - hire a cessna for the day and fly it by yourself.
You can only fly for your airline, on the aircraft you are type rated on, unless you go out and get a PPL afterwards
Great video. But i still don't know if MPL is better than ATPL...
hellow mentour pilot great vids i watch all of them. one quick question are you allowed to pick your own headsets or do the airline do that. thank you have the best job in the world.
Hey mentour pretty nice video.
I have a question for you and I hope (if possible of course) you could answer for me
In you view point what is the relation between bad weather and fuel consumption ?
thanks !!
Hey mentour! I have been wondering if I get my licences and ratings in central america for example, how is the process for FAA or europe to validate my licences to fly or apply for jobs with them?
Hey Mentour, I got a question.
I live in Australia and is aspiring to be an airline pilot some day. My question is: what kind of pilot's license would you need to be an airline pilot? A Commercial Pilot's License (or with an instrument rating)? Or an Air Transport Pilot's License?
I'm just confused as to what kind of license I would need to be able to be employed as an airline pilot.
Thanks in advance.
***** Alright, thanks! So how much did you have to pay to study for those licenses? I heard the CPL alone is expensive enough.
live your videos
Can I get a job in other airlines after the specific mpl training by the airlines
What if I want to be a captain for b777??? Which one is better cpl or Mpl? What would you suggest?
Hey mentour a few questions, can a pilot with a mpl change airlines and can they become captains. Do short to medium haul pilots such as yourself have layover destinations or are you always back at base. Another great video keep the good work coming

+Mentour Pilot HI Capt! I'm an MPL pilot and what i can say for sure is that our ATPL is frozen until 1500 hrs. Thereafter when it is unfrozen then we can move on to other airlines. Regarding your question, there was a case where an airline had an oversupply of pilots and their mpl students was deemed redundant. The training organisation then successfully placed those students under another airline, so i would say they are "movable" but on a case by case basis.
Hiii I just wanted to knw that can I have a ppl icao issued by caasl and apply for the mpl program abroad
HiIs it better to complete your CPL and not your MPL? Can you do both or just one?
You do one or the other. They allow you to do the same things. See the rest of the videos in the series.
Hi Mentour. I was wondering if you know what the command prospects are for MPL holders in their airlines and if any additional training is required for an MPL to become an ATPL and if the 1500 hr mark still applies? I read a blog dated 2014 that said no MPL holders had yet become captains which got me thinking... :/
I was wondering as well, if you were unfortunate enough to be left jobless with an MPL, can it be easily converted to a CPL with additional training or would this become very expensive?
Thank you!
+Mentour Pilot thank you for your reply, probably one to ask the flight schools as well
Hello Mentour! Please can you tell me if having a stiff neck will stop you from getting a first class medical certificate? And is it difficult are the expectations very high etc (please reply)
Hello, how long does an MPL training take?
Hello Mentour, may i ask what dose "A Multi-crew Pilot Licence from QCAA for A320 aircraft type rating" means? Dose it means that you can only fly an A320 aircraft ?
Nice room
Good moorning Mentour, first of all your channel is really interesting so i hope that you continue with your super videos! I attend a modular programme in Italy, attualy i hold a PPL (A) and i study for ATPL (A) theoretical while i fly for Hour Bulding stage... the flight school is really professional and till the PPL training students are trained to manage themselves and the airplane as in commercial operation/aerial work in terms of procedure guides, checklist, memory items etc. Furthermore the same school provides MCC training on FNTPII simulator.. this to say that, in my opinion, a "classic" integrated or modular programme is a good way to become a pilot also because anyway an applicant for an airline needs to be trained for Type Ratings/SOPs... Just two questions, i have searched and read many times about MPL programmes, Do you think that sometimes this type of training coincides with "Pay to fly" cases? and finally, what about the possibilty to convert MPL in CPL?
I continue to follow you, happy landings!
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the answer! I know about the ATPL coversion reaching 1500 hours, my question was related with the worst case that a cadet could find, the possibility that the company (for example) fails before cadets have the conversion requirements! What in this case? Is it necessary to have a traditional training to pass from an MPL to ATPL Frozen CPL+IR? Thank you...
How about the price difference between them, nice video btw
Hey Mentor, have heard rumours that the MPL is 'unlocked' when you reach 1500 hours. Did your research come across this at all?
Thank you for the helpful video, really eye-opening!
+Chris Binks from what I've read, it does become an ATPL after 1500 hours or so, but it has some limitations to do with single pilot flying etc... and if you want to do this, you'll have to do some extra training (prehaps a seperate PPL/CPL etc...)
If you where beginning your training now, would you go the MPL route or the standard way of training?
Thanks for your answer.
Brian there is no answer
after acquiring 1500 flight hours, can MPL license be change?
do we only need MPL in order to be a pilot in airline? At my university I have to choose either CPL course or MPL course so do I have to pick MPL course to be a pilot?
u can choose cpl also but mpl has better chance of employment but mpl doesn't allow u to fly cessna's!
Hi there Mentour, my son has got so close to the end of his mpl training, all he neede was his base training with easyjet and they voided his contract because of covid 19 which now leaves my son with a £125k bill and no job no licence, what do we do !!!
Hey did ur son get a job??
So if you have an MPL with airline A, and you later on decide you would rather work for a different airline for whatever reason, are you stuck?
+Mentour Pilot so when you reach 1500 hours you can change, but are you generally contracted down to that airline for a certain amount of time?
Hi! Being a MPL student, we go from 0 to ATPL. So could you give some advice on how to deal with ATPL ground school and things? Thank you :)
Hey Mentour Pilot! great video! I was just wondering how many GCSE's you got in total and how many GCSE's airlines prefere. Thank you.
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the reply!
hi mentour , can I convert my mpl to an atpl once I finish my 1500 hours line training on an airline, and can I change my work to another airline operating the same aircraft .Thanks
+Mentour Pilot , thanks for the help , I appreciate your reply, one more question , once I finish my mpl and line training can I directly convert to a full atpl with 1500 hours on type , or I need more hours and atpl theory examinations ? Thank you again
Can you become a captain with an mpl?
Hey, Mentour :) Thanks for all the awesome videos in info. I was wondering if airlines will accept cadets for MPL programmes without a PPL?
i think we need ppl to have mpl or cpl.....
christofer lee no
Nice Video As Always! I'm 14 and I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now and my dream is to become a pilot and you have answered a lot of my questions and worries so thank you. I am also thinking about going to Oxford Aviation Academy and doing MPL with a sponsor airline, or I might go for a Intergrated ATPL but I'm not sure which one I should do, have you got any advice? Thanks Again and keep up the good videos.
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the reply!
That's a coincidence because I am the exact same as you with age, dream to be a pilot and the sponsored airline program
+Extreme Facts Well Hopefully We might See Each Other One Day

+Mentour Pilot Thanks
hey there i have the same question that 777pilot ifly asked could you please advise the same!!
hi!nice videos.....do a video about flight simulator(fsx,fs9,xplanr)...and tell if that help...
I think you missed a very important point about MPL. As its name implies it's a multi-crew license and does not allow the holder of an MPL to fly as a single pilot. It seems to me to be a quick fix qualification and lacks the in-depth knowledge and experience taught in the ATPL
Good day Captain, honestly i have some concerns about my current situation in aviation, you seem interested and supportive towards the MPL which makes me as a current CPL/IR ATPL Frozen student feel a bit of relief towards my decision of leaving my current program to join an MPL program, i take your thoughts in mind not just due to the fact that you earned four stripes on your shoulders but you are a certified line training Captain which not many people understand what that is i also do support the fact that the hours the students currently obtain on DA or Pa Cessna is overrated for Airline purpose flight, in the ATPL they told us communication is a major part of accidents history and MPL is the new way to face this issue, also what ever license you obtain , you shall go through a line check by that SOP's are the same and passing requires the same level of cooperation, for more details i am thinking to change to a gulf located MPL training which "promises" 1,500 hours on A320 i've seen some forms talking about the program with a very aggressive way towards that program, people are talking about how they didnt get 1,500 hours, deep inside i think its just Knowledge or cooperation issue from those cadets, to the fact that i checked the online orders, they are currently hiring and also ordering 33 A320's, anyhow Captain thanks for being there for us the new one's, you are very helpful and informative in an easy understanding way (nothing like EASA) if you are interested in more information i'll be sure to deliver, best regards.
Hopfully a future F/O Ward..
Fly safe Sir.
@ward are you referring to the Air Arabia MPL program? Were you able to find more information about it. I have heard that they do not have any orders lined up for new aircrafts and they already have a large number of cadets waiting to complete their training. Please be kind to share any more information that you may have gained about this MPL program. My email is shaikhmoiz1@gmail.com. I'm planning to visit the said school in December to get more information and a current state of the situation at the school.
Does MPL includes ATPL?
Normally it includes the frozen ATPL theory, yes.
Mentour Pilot What does ''Frozen ATPL'' Mean?
Hi Mentour
Amazing videos!
Could you do a video podcast on ATPL Thoery, what airlines tend to look for, revising for your ATPL exams, hour building....
Captain, what's the fees charged for MPL
Those differ between different airlines and courses. Around the same or slightly more expensive than a normal integrated course normally.
okay never mind read the old comments got my ans- ( converting mpl to atpl)
thx
Can you please pass on the info as to how to convert an MPL to ATPL. I didn't find it in the old comments. Thanx a ton
Mentour can you become an airline pilot if you have diabetes type one and two
while applying for an airline , none of them have mpl as their requirement, they only ask for cpl or ATPL , so airlines don't hire mpl pilots ?
The problems i see with MPL, is that you're giving Airlines a huge leverage over their employees.
Basicly, as a MPL pilot, you can't really put pressure on the airline when it comes to how their employees are treated. because if they would let you go, you basicly got a worthless licence. Where as an ATPL pilot who has a lot of hours on type, would have it much easier to change company.
I would understand MPL if it was a universal licence for airline pilots, where you COULD switch airline, as long as you redo the type rating and learn the new airlines SoPs.
What’s the difference between the ATPL and MPL ?
How much money in USA dollars would it cost for the total amount of schools?
Anyone here in 2021
thanks for the reply mentour pilot. keep them vids coming.
