Let me try again.
I don't know if there is a shortage or surplus of pilots in Malta. I would not have thought there was a shortage, considering the worldwide aviation recession. As far as I am concerned this is irrelevant.
However, shortage or no shortage does not give any person the right to undertake employment outside the law.
Ignorance of the law, by the way is no excuse.
Take the example of an employee who is prepared to work in a country without a work permit, when one is required. That person is not only breaking the law but leaving themselves open to blackmailers and vindictive employers, not to mention ppruners.
