Very typical "selling-point" for new start ups.
Think of this, if i'm an established airline, why would i hire new pilots without experience out of a new flying school with no experience at all in training? Speaking about middle eastern airlines, if you guys have checked out the requirements for FO position, no one is gonna hire you with ZERO hrs. Here's a quick glance on the requirements.
Emirates : 4000hrs total.
Qatar : 1500hrs total.
Etihad : 1500hrs total.
I'm just highlighting this as many people have got conned by agents and even some foreign flying schools who promised "jobs" upon graduation. Most if not all are now on the long waiting list for jobs with MAS, Airasia, Firefly, MASWings and other companies.....
