Freccia is right in a sense that we should give the guy his say.
What I wish is that this CEO, Ray Micallef, will deny the following:
1-he did not pay his pilots
2-he did not pay his engineers
3-he gave false promises
3-operated illegally from Malta
4-he did not pay the agreed expenses for re-current training on
Metro type to pilots
5-was decietful to his employees
6-issued cheques which were dishonoured by the bank
7-employed foriegn pilots without a work permit
8-had some of his pilots arrested by the local authorities
9-had a Part 135 removed from one company then moved to another and it seems also rejected.
10-unable to get a JAA licence to operate from Malta beacuse of who he is not who he knows.
11-his REPUTATION??? (No comment at this stage)
Is this normal buisness ethics for a new company. I think not.
In short his buisness ethics are a shade of grey bordering on black. I wonder what credit rating European 2000 Airlines would have (1 star minus if it exists!)
