I happen to know R. Micallef originally had two Maltese pilots when he first started his little adventure.
One did not finish initial training. The other could spot a bad situation developing and got out at a good time. Both where sued over their training contracts. Both have countersuits pending. So there is at least one Metro typed Maltese out there but he knows Micallef and would not work for him for all the tea in china.
These three guys that got arrested are not the first foreign persons to get duped on this deal.
R. Micallef hired a girl from San Antonio, Texas to work for E2000 airlines. She was to be the cabin attendant. No work permit, No experience with aircraft of any kind, I think she was a waitress he picked up at a restaraunt. Long story short, after his partner found out she was on the first plane back to Texas.
