Im not sure what went down in the Philippines but I can think of a few reasons why AA cannot accept those cadets at this moment in time :
- There is already a back log of cadets from the AAG Sharjah that need to complete Line Training
- The Clark cadets might have been trained under a slightly different SOP and might need to be retrained in the sim.
- Their currency would have definitely lapsed and would require retraining, flying is all about currency, if im out of it for a month , we all get completely useless.
- A Foreign MPL might not be recognized under the UAE Civil Aviation Authority . (You would have to look up the Civil Aviation Regulations for that)
- The Memorandum of Understanding was probably between AA and AAG Sharjah and it might not be easy to get cadets from other countries.
These are just guesses but I do hope that those cadets find a solution. I would most certainly like to know what exactly happened.
