Just a hint of this happening and you should write to your EC Commissioner of Transport and/or Employment as well as your EC representative in the European Parliament. Ask EY privately, then officially, if the interview has been withdrawn due to any non-poaching agreements- you never know you may strike lucky. Start asking in Air Malta, and take this to your union. This is a practice that has to be stamped out, and they won't be able to get away with it continually. It will only take one disaffected Air Malta manager and the whole thing will become public, then the lawsuits can begin. You can stop it. Now Malta (land of my birth!) is in the EC, companies must toe the line (unless they're French of course!)
