Lack of experienced FO´s entering
This cadet program was so Iberia and Vueling management could suck more money out of Vueling and milk the cow for more.
The Vueling captain salary is still far below the Easyjet salary.
Sepla is making some progress but they have a lot more to do, especially with this cheapo level 6 pay, with a base pay of 800 Euros !
All these new hire cadet dropping the experience level significantly in Vueling.
Experienced FO´s who enter Vueling with more than 2200 factorized ( like Easyjet ) hours will get a higher pay scale,
CEO Alex Cruz wrote ( to influence pilots into signing the collective agreement ) that Vueling would hire experienced FO´s in an e-mail last August, if growth so required. Growth has so required a percentage of experienced FO´s this minimum percentage has not been realized in the new hires. ( They have hired a few experienced guys though.)
Looks like he has not kept his promise to hire enough experienced A- 320 FOs at Vueling.
Why doesn´t CEO Alex Cruz keep his promise and hire some more experienced A-320 FO´s and restore Vueling´s reputation ?
He will learn the lesson that it is not just about profit and punctuality.
Before Vueling has something happen.
Vueling management just looks at the cheapo FO´they are getting. With all the new upgrades. They do not care that experienced FO´s will help increase the safety level with these newly upgraded Captains.
What a surprise Vueling cant find high calibre experienced FO´s at such low scales.
Vueling used to hire more experienced FO´s
Doesnt experience count any more in an airline ?
