Iso,
I agree with you. I don't know if they will ask for rated pilots. But more so sure that they will ask for hours. This would give alot of opportunities to many malaysian pilots. We'll have to wait and see in the advert. In turn, pilots lost from Transmile to AirAsia may not necessarily cause the recruitment expats, but just train local pilots low houred or not. But I'm certainly not in the position to know for sure, only speculate.
