That sounds like half truths and mythology. A 12 month cooldown will only apply if you got an interview, or progressed so far and they found that there was a reason you might need another 12 months doing something else. It's more some flaw in your actual interview or sim check they thought you were close but needed to refine something and that 12 months waiting might fix it. If you don't meet the minimums and apply they just won't progress your application... If you were close enough that MCC was the only issue, they might tell you to go get it and come back.
I've been told by one airline after application that I was close but needed to go do 'x' before applying again, no cooldown, nothing. I said thanks, but I have other opportunities, they called back a few days later and asked me to come in for an interview, sim and such, and when they found out I had several other jobs lined up they rushed me into a ground course.
