Yes, they feel threatened because foreign input may just well reveal that people appointed through cronyism/nepotism/the friends of friends network are not up to scratch or unfit for purpose.

The Corinthia group keeps them as political clout and not as a commercial investment. Best try someone else, Mompy.

Or is it just the case that it is these sort who tend to take to their keyboards, and are just a vocal minority?

Since when must we choose people for highly skilled roles based on their nationality and not their ability?

Do the advocates of meritocracy feel so threatened?

Senior Air Malta captains were offered Eur500,000 as an early retirement package. Some 15 captains took up this offer.

Cabin crew had a salary increase, giving them 165 weighted units, guaranteed even if they didn’t work one hour on an aircraft.
