I'm reading a file geodatabase and need to grab the feature class alias. I don't see any way of doing this?

I dont think it is possible atm, maybe requesting this from safe will make it possible in the future.
A workaround can be to map the fme_feature_type ( feature class) to the feature class externaly (xls, csv) and using the schemamapper to add the alias to the features.
Naturally if you are dealing with a great number of feature classes and/or the alias is changed, this can be an issue.
Hope this helps.
