The MPL program is a training path specifically designed for airline use. It differs from traditional professional pilot licence (ATPL) training in that the student already knows at the start of the training which airline they will work for and which aircraft type they will be flying. Students who are accepted into MPL training have a training agreement with the airline. The airline’s flight procedures and operating models are integrated into the training from the very beginning, and all elements included in the new pilot’s induction are built into the various stages of the program. Therefore, no separate co‑pilot training or type rating is required.
