Sorry but I disagree with you.

Vueling Captain salaries were brought closer to European salaries.
Vueling Captains still make less than Easyjet Captains

The money made from the cadet program is going to the managers only, CEO,COO, and director of training, etc, it is going in their pockets in Fat bonuses, all Vueling pilots work hard at low pay compared to European standards.


SEPLA signed its first collective agreement before the cadet program and achieved a signiifcant increase for the Ex clickair FO´s. 20%, vacation pay, sick leave pay, profit bonus,

It is supply and demand and how many pilots want to fly a A-320 with the amount of jobs out there

The trade off for the improvement was the ****ty cadet pay.
SEPLA should have held out for a better deal and a better cadet pay yes and etc,etc. but the pilots voted 75% in favour of that agreement. Yeah they should pressured more at the time, etc.

It is supply and demand and too bad that they had 1000 applications for the positions at that poor pay.
