You're most welcome.
May I know who was the supervisor that you talked to? PM me if you prefer.
I don't think that having a previous experience in the aerospace industry will give you any advantage over other applicants as most of the first officers that I know at MEA were specializing in fields other than aviation before they joined as cadet pilots.
However, MEA is currently raising its pilots' educational standards indeed. They used to have a minimum requirement of "one year of university (sophomore)" to apply, but on this selection as you can see their "new" minimum requirement is at least a Bachelor's degree to apply to the mentored scheme, which is the reason that turned down my application as I still have 2 years to complete my engineering degree. PS: Engineering in Lebanon is 5 years.
Anyways, all the best of luck and keep us updated.
