Thumbs down

Vueling seems to become one of the worst airlines in the world. I remember this company started professional years ago. Since the merge with Clickair it deteriorated so quickly.
Now:
*Payments are one of the worst in European aviation
*Very low houred first officers
*Pay to fly principle implemented
*Cabin att. on 6 month contracts (6 in, 6 out)
*Crews not able to speak english whatsoever
*Only 30 leave days (of which you cannot choose 15 of them)
*Low duty pays 12-24 euros for a F/O
*Old aircraft
What will be next...

Go Vueling Go!!!
True! Plus most of the cabin crew chics just can't smile and are very useless on board the aircraft. Their spaninglish is awful


The reason P2F doesn't happen at BA/Iberia isn't because we have a wonderful, caring management. It doesn't happen because our management know the pilots simply wouldn't accept it.
Wrong! Iberia is done! IB is giving lots of their routes to Vueling, with more aircraft and they are now planing to create Vueling Atlantic in order to get Iberia long haul routes as well.
Why would you pay an Iberia A320 FO 5000 euros/month when you can get a Vueling pilot working twice more with no nghtstps for half the salary? Do the maths...
