Vueling Airlines New Expansion and growth Scenario with Spanair closed puts Vueling in a excellent position in the Spanish market.

The union announced that the proposal to reduce the time that vueling pilots spend remain level 6 Fo pay ( lowest pay level ) and level 4 Captain pay levels had been flatly refused.

The union also announced that the company has not been respecting many partes of its collective agreement.

One of the areas where Vueling is not complying with its collective agreement according to union reps who declared in a general meeting yesterday, is temporary contracts. The collective agreement clearly states that Vueling should hire principally full time pilots with fixed contracts, meanwhile
It is hiring all on temporary contracts which make it very easy to fire pilots and makes sure they colloborate when needed. When this was announced according to the union reps, the chief operating officer stood up and walked away from the negotiating table. This appears to be a provocation according the union delegates stated yesterday.
