That's true.
Alpha has limited their intake to 50 students per year now due to the surplus.

How unfair is it to the MPLs?
Lesson no.1 - you can expect anything but fair from Air Arabia/ Alpha management - they care only about your money. Once You give it to them and they already suck You dry - You become worthless.

Latest news:
-there is to many pilots in Middle East and from Alpha itself
-new students will face tremendous problems to get hours, all will be delayed indefinitely
-new students - forget about the contract, after You finish the school You will look for a job in an industry that is going downhill.
-there was a meeting in Air Arabia to lower F/O salaries, there is excess first officers so the management can do whatever the fu.ck they want
-other airlines will not lower the salaries - they will just terminate

Still want to apply ??

Fifi how are you affiliated to alpha ? Are you a current / former student ?

ABY has reduced the FO salary before , this is a fact

No cadet will get a permenant contract , that is also correct

Industry completely going south ... Not really , region is still alright for the time being

I can't clarify about new airlines, just something I heard. Pay to fly is certainly going on . 100,000AED up front and another 100,000AED bond for 5 years.

Is alpha delaying batches intentionally so that ABY does not have to pay ? The latest in hearing is that it's so badly organized that the cadets don't know what's going on in terms of timeline, everyday it's a different story!

People who are currently stuck , please post your experiences. Yes and for those who think this is a wonderful place to be I'd like to hear from you too !

The whole thing sounds so Mediocore to me .

Alpha/ Air Arabia management are greedy liars and there are big delays during the course - this is nothing new.

What's new - there is already excess F/O (around 90) with new students coming every few months. Those F/O who do not have contract till now, will not get it for sure.

If You apply to Alpha now, the only thing You will get, is worthless AA licence and it will take around 3 years judging by recent batches.

Guys this course should be renamed "Scam of the Century".

I would question the intelligence of anyone willing to sign up to this nonsense. Put it this way, I most certainly would not be willing to get on a plane with such a person at the controls and I will not use Air Arabia out of principle if ever I find myself in the region.

Also be advised that if your medical or visa is rejected you will be charged fully for the assessment , this has happened in the past .
