AL historically have never recruited direct from the flying schools.
Total pish. Over the last years they have been bringing in a mix of ab-initio, zero time peeps and some already with time and ratings.
AL have a long history of giving new starters their first leg up into the industry, quite honourable. I'm just sorry I missed out when I first started off.
I've been a really good boy this year though, fingers crossed Santa comes through this time! Best of luck to all in the system!
