Unfortunately it doesn't matter because the gov't and airlines will never allow themselves to be caught with their pants down, no way we will ever have a true pilot shortage because that would put too much power in the hands of pilots(LABOR), so instead they CREATE THIS LITTLE GEM THAT WE WILL ALL BECOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH.....................DRUM ROLL PLEASE............................................ ....MPL LICENSE. It won't matter if there are students enrolled in flight schools, the MPL license will take people with basically no experience and train them much like AB-INITIO or whatever it is..............
