The duration of the MPL training program is approximately 22 months, including type rating training on an Airbus aircraft. After completing the program, the student qualifies to work as an A320 airline pilot for Finnair. The timing of employment depends on Finnair’s operational needs, but graduates of the program are given priority for five years whenever Finnair recruits co-pilots to the A320 family, which is typically a pilot’s first airline position.
