Pilot's reject managements recent offer of 5%.
Air Malta pilot's receive 26 days paid vacation per year, 38 hours off after flying. Consequently flying a total of 56 hours per month. Well below the European average. Management looking to up that to 75 hours. Basic pilots pay 48 thousand euros. Pilots want that up to 92,000 see Malta Today article (Strikes highly unlikely, other Air Malta workers would suffer badly)

​Last year 2016 talks
