The culture and atmosphere is good, but the course is far from easy. You will have to put in a lot of work over here.
Its still too early to have any concerns or regrets to be honest, I'll only get to know once i graduate.
The 1500 hours are guaranteed as long as air arabia is satisfied with your skill level. Apparently 97% of all cadets have been inducted into air arabia. The remaining 3% was because of either financial reasons or they got kicked out due to attitude.
I have spoken to quite a few cadets of earlier batches, and they say that everyone they know have gotten jobs. So, fingers crossed for me as well.
And yes, with 1500 hours, you can convert your MPL to an unfrozen ATPL with which you can apply 'anywhere' provided you meet the minimum requirements.
