Alpha Needs to prove a point

Alpha Aviation Academy has two issues to deal with...

1. they are a relatively new company, and just like any new company in the middle-east (also worldwide) they need a constant flow of students/work to survive, and

2. the MPL program is relatively new as compared to the traditional CPL/IR syllabus. So a lot of potential student pilots and their parents are hesitant to enrol into the known.

I can only imagine that the administration staff at Alpha are feeding their visitors some kind of BS about how good the program is, and regardless of the COMPASS scores, are putting "bums in seats" for the sake of AED 440 000.

If I was an Auditor looking into Alpha's recruitment methods, paperwork and history, I'm sure I would find a few students who should not have been there, but selected anyway, and who are now either struggling to make it through the course, or who are threading deep water.
