Iberia is transfering planes and routes to Iberia Express, up to 40 A-320's.
Iberia pilots have been on strike because of this. Their contract with the company states that Iberia cannot transfer flights out of MAD to other companys without pilots approval. Iberia Express pilots are not exactly crossing a picket line. Pilots stikes in Spain don't have picket lines. The Ministry of Transportation approves on certain dates only the cacellation of part of the flights, the rest have to be flown.
What would you call a pilot that knowingly accepts a job for a company that is doing the flights of another company whose pilots are on strike?
Iberia pilots are to resume the strikes shortly, an agreement with the company hasn't been reached.
