But at least BA are using their latest and most up to date aircraft for their shorthaul services from LGW
How long before
IAG start a low cost unit at LGW, run by Vuelling (fleet of 55 a/c) or IB express (fleet of 11 a/c, expanding to 40+ within 2 years). IAG apparetly don't recognise unions, MOAs, scheduling agreements... outsourcing is the way forward.
Anyway, Spain is deep in recession with their economy in freefall, unemployment of 24-50%, etc.etc. Yes, Iberia is in a fight for survival, but could we really blame their hardline pilots for its failure? I doubt any legacy airline could turn a profit under the circumstances.
