You aren't seriously making inferences on incident levels within AL are you? That sort of tattle is what goes around the crew rooms of flight schools (crap ones) and is peddled by the ace of the base as is sadly regurgitated by the naive wanabes who know no better. It's the same drivel that has gotten people into legal hot water with a certain loco.
The mould that AL has is pretty much the same as BA and the other airlines that take in cadets and DE pilots. Its called standards.
Sadly your SE experience is only of value to a dwindling niche of mainly TP airlines. The writing was on the wall as I said about 10 years ago for the self improver route. The next big hurdle (assuming you get a TP gig) is getting off TPs and onto jets. But anyway you should know this if you had done your due diligence. Oher avenues would be business jets.
