traveller93...
I have no firm facts to your question but i'd add a couple of comments:
The last advert, I saw of Alpha's glossy newspaper advertising campaign for the FOT program (they advertise in the local newspapers regularly) - stated that they had a relationship with an airline... so could offer a job/line training. However they also said candidiates would have to pass the independent assessment process with the airline.
Secondly assuming they are talking about Airphil, which I guess they are - without searching for the recruitment advert, i'm almost certain the prelisted requirements state, a degree, min 21 years old and at least 200hours.
Would have thought any MPL pilot should be able to achieve each of the above but should they not, then I guess Alpha would be in a position to do nothing.
In addition from what i've heard of Alpha, the more you complain, the worse it's gonna get for you!
