Pilot licenses - MPL 

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

Thanks, I just saw ur video, good explanation, I've the MPL since 2018 on th the B737 and now on A350-900

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 ;)

Thanks Mentour! This video series has been very educating!

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!

Going to fly my first plane on Thursday I can't wait. Love your content Mentour Pilot keep it up 😀.

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?

Good job! thanks a lot for sharing it. Congrats! I'm from Brazil, watching to you.

Nice thanks you , Good explanation

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!

Thanks for the reply. great vids keep them coming.

thanks for the reply mentour pilot. keep them vids coming.

I'm going to join an mpl scheme soon. Many interviews to go through! Scared as hell lol Thanks for all the info.

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

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....

Very informative. Another educational video...

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?

Hey!! Would you recommed doing MPL Or Integerated ATPL?

its perfect. but i need you to compare and contrast CPL and contrast like which one is advantages interms of income andquality of job.

Nice, I wasn't aware of MPL as a scheme!

great information 👍

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.

Great video. But i still don't know if MPL is better than ATPL...

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

yet again a good vlog mentour keep it up✅✅

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 !!

Thanks Nikko I hope do to. I you have any tips tell me pls. 😀

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

Thanks for ur response

How about the price difference between them, nice video btw

hi!nice videos.....do a video about flight simulator(fsx,fs9,xplanr)...and tell if that help...

Have your airline created special procedures according going to toilet during the flight? I mean procedures after GermanWings crash?

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 :) Thanks for all the awesome videos in info. I was wondering if airlines will accept cadets for MPL programmes without a PPL?

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.

HiIs it better to complete your CPL and not your MPL? Can you do both or just one?

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 :)

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

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. .)

live your videos

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.

can a MPL be upgraded to a ATPL after you get 1500 hours? 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?

Nice room

What if I want to be a captain for b777??? Which one is better cpl or Mpl? What would you suggest?

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!

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?

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)

Can I get a job in other airlines after the specific mpl training by the airlines

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 ?

Hello, how long does an MPL training take?

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 !!!

Make more vids like This :)

quick question if I have a MPL can I later update it to an ATPL

If you where beginning your training now, would you go the MPL route or the standard way of training?

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)

Hiii I just wanted to knw that can I have a ppl icao issued by caasl and apply for the mpl program abroad

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.

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?

so does this licence help you become a commercial pilot ?

Can you become a captain with an mpl?

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..

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

hey there i have the same question that 777pilot ifly asked could you please advise the same!!

Sir, isn't there any age restrictions for MPL??

Captain, what's the fees charged for MPL

okay never mind read the old comments got my ans- ( converting mpl to atpl) thx

Does MPL includes ATPL?

Mentour can you become an airline pilot if you have diabetes type one and two

What’s the difference between the ATPL and MPL ?

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 ?

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.

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..
