Pay to fly scrapped at Vueling negotiated by SeplaVueling Union

The pay to fly is over at Vueling, as the union has finally come to an agreement. An agreement has been made for no more pay to fly pilots in the future. Also all the pay to fly pilots have been given temporary contracts ( and will be paid ) as negotiated by the union. The pay is low

The Sepla Vueling union is new and started in 2009, they need to get tougher and play hardball with their management. It looks they are starting to get tougher as they are starting to gather more support from their pilots. We want them to get tougher against a tough management, they need the support of the Vueling pilots and it looks like they are getting it.
We pilots need to participate more, go to union meetings and support our unions more rather than just bitch.


Sepla Iberia is in negotiations for its collective agreement when the negotiations broke off and did not progress, Iberia has given production temporarily to Vueling until October and Iberia comes to an agreement or decides....


Iberia is putting pressure on its pilots to accept very cheap entry level FO´s. It´s pilots proposed cheap entry level FO´s but management wants them to go even lower

Even if Iberia and Sepla Iberia had come to an agreement, Iberia would have been to slow to have the production ready.

Sepla Iberia wants to sign an agreement with the Sepla Vueling union.
As BALPA and SEPLA have an arrangement. ( See SEPLA-BALPA thread )

Could IAG outsource more work to Vueling in the future ?
Then Vueling could even affect BA pilots a possible scenario ?

Sorry buy Vueling pilots have way better conditions than Ryanair and Wizz and other low cost carriers in Europe. Sick leave pay. If a guy takes extra fuel in Vueling no one bothers him.
