Half correct! The underline sentence only apply to those without jet-time or type-rated guys.
In another words, without jet-time or type-rated hours, DCA/Malaysian Immigration will NOT accept them to be First/Second Officer.
Foreigners with jet or type-rated hours are still welcome to apply. To get priority in the interview, applicant needs some sort of connection.
I heard from one Chinese Tan-Sri who he has helped to pull in a Singaporean into Firefly! I have came across many real-life stories about pulling connection.
I have been through many aviation gatherings both locally and overseas and I've met all kind of people. Especially, in Asia, one common phenomenon I discovered is, "ang-moh" has no power in doing connection, and they only know how to talk "cock" and talk "big"!
Believe me or not, it is not what you know, but who you know.
