I think your getting it wrong here guys re: the Maltese etc.
The basings will no doubt be for their sub-charter uk basings, for which British pilots already hold contracts. You would be flying identical routes to the other bucket and spade carriers, with the 'Maltese' thing not even coming into it. They even use British crew.
I work side by side with the KM engineer at BRS - top chap!! All the best!
