If you define NetView as VTAM's "primary programmed operator" VTAM passes its unsolicited messages to the PPO ACB and doesn't issue a WTO at all. That means that MPF doesn't get chance to play at all (yet). NetView can then decide to WTO the messages. If NetView WTOs them, _then_ MPF gets in the act. That word "unsolicited" is pretty important, though. Any VTAM activation message relating to resources in VTAMs configuration list - ATCCONxx - is considered solicited. VTAM WTO's those so MPF can supress them. ( BTW, Solicited VTAM messages are supposed to be command responses sent to the console issuing the command. I don't know what that means in this case. The console issuing the START NET? Consoles with AUTH=MASTER? Consoles with the network routecode (8, I think)? Whatever, they go where not wanted. Another option available in NetView V5.1 (or maybe it was 5.2) is the Message Revision Table where many MPF-ish actions (and several not so MPF-ish actions) are available in NetView's SSI.
