The only information I can provide is for Air Malta.
The Cadet Scheme they provide is only for nationals, or Maltese speakers. The reason why is obvious, they want the people to be in Air Malta, and not move around. They also require a ten year bond.
The pay under maltese contract is veeeery low and that is why people are leaving and Air Malta are so desperately for pilots.
They also hire expats for the UK base and the contract offered is from six months to a couple of years. Moneywise is much better than the maltese contract (but still low for A320 flight crew).
Terms and conditions... well there are no conditions.
F/O Basic Salary 36000 GBP per year (Gross).
Capt. Basic Salary 60000 GBP per year (Gross).
Duty pay F/O is 3.5 and 4.5 Capt. (aproximately 4000-5000 GBP on top each year)
2 days leave per month. 8 days off per month.
5% basic salary bonus at the end of every year.
No pension scheme.
Low loss of licence.
Medical Insurance.
Roster... HELL, complete chaos, higlhy unreliabe and unastable plus ridiculous set up (for example flying the same crew and few routes for months, because in Malta is the way we do it). We still do it manually, no computer system.
From Malta normal european destinations, Paris, London,...
From UK base charter destinations to Canary, Balearic and Greek Islands, Egypt, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus.
Enviroment in Malta not good due to bad relationship between Union and Management. In UK there is no union and no control from management.
Although not very high salary, bad T&Cīs and bad organization people generally quite good and kind of operation is fun.
Sahha.
