Come fly him: more nationalistic banging from the right-wing party

Maybe he'll make our day by telling us whether Joseph has a big linfa too

In The Times, last Monday:

Dr Muscat claimed that cabin crew are now only required to know English, opening the door to foreigners who did not know Maltese.
“I have yet to see a situation where Air France decides that its cabin crew do not have to know French,” he said, insisting that the Labour Party had no problem safeguarding jobs for Maltese.

Bit of an odious comparison for all sorts of reasons, I would say. A more appropriate one would be with Emirates, which doesn’t insist on its cabin crew speaking Arabic, which is why so many Maltese work for them.

    Sorry.

    Whereas I can understand the Emirates/Air Malta comparison and accept it, I fail to see how Manu Maltes fits in the picture.

    Please illuminate . . . :)

    This is rich. The only words that ever come out of Air Malta cabin crew are: “Your meal, Sir” and “Tea or coffee?”

    Not much Maltese there.

    À propos of Air France air hostesses, as I’m sure fellow aesthete Ciccio will agree, it doesn’t even matter which language they speak. Those perfectly tailored Christian Lacroix uniforms, those cheekbones and nature’s other endowments are enough.
