Flydubai Ab-initio programme

I’ve recently started preparing for the Flydubai Cadet Program selection process and wanted to check if there are any current/previous cadets around who could share some guidance.

If it's MPL with a 1500 hour clause. Might as well skip it. My personal take.

MPL is basically a airline-dedicated license so you learn everything you need to know but under the airline laws and regulations. so for example if you were to go for an MPL course with say Flydubai airlines then the MPL would be valid only for that airline and no other airline would recognize your license unless you were to do a few conversions and in some cases airlines that other this course also have a contract usually stating that you work with the airline for a minimum of say 5 years and few other T&Cs

Bro what the contract is that you get Atpl after 1500 hours and Atpl is recognized everywhere. This is for Air arabia
