A storm is coming

Thanks for your support Thundebird appreciated.

Vueling´s impeccable safety record is under threat with inexperienced cadet that sleep badly in vans and whom may have financial stress.

The newest aircraft to Vuelings fleet is MSN 323 with 5A1 engines.
Combine this with these cadets and newly upgraded Captains and
Who do you know does low cost with short turnarounds and old aircraft ?


Vueling pilots were not happy with the P2fly but did not have any collective agreement. The Captains salaries at Vueling arent too bad with a lot of experienced ones who came from many different backgrounds. Now many pilots and the guys at the union are downright angry at the disrespect imposed by a dictatorial management. Vueling´s union has been patient and reasonable understanding that pilots want the airline to grow ( new upgrades ) and that there was competition for the production with Iberia, too patient.
Apparently support will come from Vueling´s big brother union Sepla Iberia at the appropiate time according to a inside source. We shall see.

Vueling pilots have been manipulated and abused by management. They fired a guy in Clickair for not paying for a coca cola and another for flight safety reasons.The union has stopped the unprecedented and random firing of pilots and reign of fear that existed in Clickair. The message from Vueling´s management is that if you make noise Iberia will take your flights and give them back to Iberia.

Everyone has their limit and Vuelings management has crossed the line.
