Well, then I have to defend them. I´m not an Ibiria Pilot and I´m not spanish (just Lufthansa and german
).
As our union (german VC) has prepared a benchmark of european pilot sallaries last year, I can tell you the following: They are NOT the best paid! They are average in an european comparison.
Their conditions are great!! Hope they can maintain..
They are striking for 12% more pay.
Big and various fleets, thats true. According to a frind of mine, copilot with Ibiria, they are working on it, a lot of fleets are being closed down the following years.
Don´t mistake "Air europe" with the "mother" Iberia. I´m not 100% sure, but all the smaller types are operated by domestic carriers in Ibiria colours on behalf of Iberia.
....
Just some facts to cool down the thread.
