There are reasons to believe flight training may reach a similar point in the US.
An MPL may not be such a bad thing if done the right way. If you look at obtaining one through the same conditions as "typical" flight training, I might be skeptical too. However, with proper screening of candidates and with top notch instructors, it could very well be much better than what we have now.
I certainly have a hard time justify the current cost to a prospective flight student, especially when weighed against the future job prospects.
