E2000 with #805 in San Marcos, TX, USA
Chief Pilot Frenchy and the CEO flew accross the ocean with #805. The plane is in San Marcos to get it ready to start flying out of Honolulu..... The US military offered them this opportunity... This all via Berry aviation.....????? Why didn't Berry fly themselves.... They have plenty SA-227's...???
We will see what's going on.... Lucky you that you were not riding on board, I bet it was a long ride with this 'crew'???
Actually, Didn't hear anything from the last three pilots anymore...???

Cpt.Ray, Cpt.Ray !
I believe it's the Yank you guys should be slandering ... not the self appointed Cpt., Ray ! I've been told that the Owner of these Flying Pencils, has mucho contacts in the Army/Navy, hence the Honolulu military contract. After all it is he who has the green stuff, surely not Cpt., Ray.
Thus, we may conclude, that our beloved Cpt., Ray is nothing but a puppet on a string ! - who seems to me, is living his lifelong dream thanks to US monies .....
I guess the Maltesers are still living with the bad publicity of that Prison movie, what's it called - MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. Guys that was only shot in Malta, it was portraying a Turkish Prison !!
Ah, Flap Operator .. just for the record, Cpt., Ray did not fly for "that" single engined merchant.
Pirill, don't you think FO is one of those W ......
FLY SAFE GUYS !

That about his wife... started when I was there in May 03.
I have nothing to hide that's why I just have my name here in the topic. I have been there and that was it. I should have started this topic in June. But unfortunately I didn't.
Sebastian, Ivan or Paul What's going on?

Rumour has it that Capt(?!) Ray is in deep financial troubles. It seems that the company may soon hit the wall.
The bank is chasing him also the tax man and many many companies and people who have got burnt with his actions.
We await a liquidator to be announced.......maybe there could be a court ordered auction of one Metro aircraft held at Medavia hangar in Malta.

As I am sure you were taught when you first started to learn about big light aircraft RTFQ=1/2BA
To the very best of my knowledge Mr Ray had not flown for either Excellair or Sun Air, others here seem to indicate otherwise, but not me squire.
Moreover if you want to play name calling games .. kindly go to jet blast.

Flap Operator;
be sure that I personally have seen the Captain’s Log ….. He boasted the fact that he flew along side the single engine man and his other employees. It was there in black and white (or blue) ….. 9H-ACF PA31 …. LMML – DTTJ – LMML on many occasions flying PAX and freight for the major microchip company….
How the hell do you think he built up 600 hours on a UK PPL???? Flying local flights around the island in what he called his TB9 (which I am led to believe he was 1/42 share owner)????
BTW, local authority licensing person would have loved to have gotten his hands on the Captains Log, although now day’s not so sure because the other case seems to be closed and I don’t think they really want to open old wounds.
So am I right in assuming that the captain is still flying in Malta??
Newspaper report Friday 12th December about the 100th year of flight celebrations in Malta included a fly-over of this famous captain’s company aircraft, along with the other self appointed hero captain sharing the same first name and some smaller time “Commercial” pilots from Malta.

Insider info, heard from first hand that two out of the last three pilots have lodged claims against Capt Ray and his company E2000 via their respective local authority with the EU Labour Court. Hoping once Malta becomes an EU member state, the EU Labour Council would take action against this cheeky big shot and stop him on his track once and for all.
Confirmed DC805 is in San Marcos, TX, USA.

Well its gone so quiet recently regarding our CEO friend, that it sounds like another case of a Maltese problem brushed under the huge carpet.
Face the truth guys .... This man has and will always Bull****t his way through life and destroy others in the process.
I really don't think the EU will do anything to him or his company ....
The local aviation authority don't want anything to do with this case, cause its an "N" registered problem as far as they're concerned ......
No one in government will stand up and say "hey its damaging our country's legal system reputation"
So I say to all you people around the world following the case of this swindler, Judge my country and its legal system by the outcome of what happens to this and many other Maltese like him.
I challenge the legal system and the people of this new up and coming European member state to eradicate the likes of this fraud and cheat ..... So that people will start to believe my country is a worthwhile place to visit, live and do business without the fear of idiots like Micallef ......

and why would a French Air Force jaguar pilot have flown in the Falklands...unless he was working for Argentina...b*ll****ter 
Reading this whole sorry story through it appears like a lot of b*ll****ters out there in many industries not just aviation...ask questions from the outset and if the stories don't tally ring alram bells and investigate further...unfortunately people don't seem to want to do this especially when an offer of a good job is involved...remember 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is'

The Ray Micallef Story
I would rather trust Saddam Hussain than Ray Micallef.......in Malta he has quite a reputation with his dealings and I doubt that Thomas Cook are foolish anough to even do any kind of buisness with him. He will get what is due to him at the right time. He has used many people and it will come back hard on him.

Micallef is at it again. He had a chief pilot who comp[leted all the manuals, and has got them right up to the point of operating legally. He then moved the chief pilot sideways to bring in another chief pilot. The new chief pilot is one who l;ikes to be a big fish in a small pond, and would not sign up unless he was the boss. It should be fun to fly with them! Ray Micallef and Chief Pilot Les Thompson. Beware!

For your information below is a copy of an article carried in the times of Malta dated 23rd September 2005.

European 2000 Airlines - a new Maltese-owned and registered airline company flying between Sicily and Malta - had its maiden flight yesterday.
Italian dignitaries from the travel industry as well as journalists were flown to Malta for a familiarisation tour of the Maltese islands. They are being hosted by the Malta Tourism Authority.
Airline director and chief executive officer Ray Micallef and Antonello Accardi, director of Sicilian tour operator Scirocco World Travel recently signed an agreement to start frequent charter services between Trapani and Malta.
The agreement launched a two-year partnership during which all close Italian destinations would progressively be made available by air for both Maltese and Sicilians.
The airline aims to not only offer a quality service at affordable prices but also an alternative to traditional airlines. Initially, flights will originate from Trapani with Catania and Palermo to follow suit. These departure points will connect to Malta, Tunisia and Tripoli. Trapani Birgi airport will act as the main hub serving the local community in particular, as well as offering a quick and efficient convention to foreign transit passengers.
"Our competitive prices will complement our clients' demand and frequency," said Mr Micallef, adding that international travel was expensive enough and costs would be kept to a minimum in line with the airline's low fare structure and operation.
"We have established a call centre in Trapani as well as one in our head office at Luqa to better serve our clients' needs," he said.
European 2000 Airlines holds a European Joint Airworthiness Authorities Air Operator's Certificate as well as a Malta Department of Civil Aviation Air Service License to transport passengers and cargo by air.
The company's flight reservation offices are at Luqa, tel. 2180 4187.

European 2000 (Malta), Part 2
The owner of European 2000 Airlines in Malta, Oscar Wyatt Jr, an 81-year-old oil tycoon from Texas, is being charged in a U.S. court. Read the New York Times story here. None less is the alleged crime than paying Saddam Hussein's regime extras to have the first tanker load with oil to leave Iraq in 1996 under the UN Food-for-Oil program to be - his. The money traffic has gone through Switzerland, Jordan and "foreign companies". It shouldn't be far-fetched if European 2000 was that kind of company, set up after the autumn of 2000, when the first irregular payments were made. Buy two Metroliners, fly them overseas, launder the money.
I take it's a coincidence that the timeline is this:
Autumn 2003: PPrune starts this debate on expat pilots at E2000 being arrested for working in Malta without permits.
April 2004:
23 Sep 2005: European 2000 starts flts between Malta and Sicily
22 Oct 2005: European 2000 owner Wyatt is charged at a New York court for paying millions of dollars under the table to the Iraqi regime. He can face up to 62 years in jail.
