dlcmdrx Bottom line those 1.7 losses are artificially fabricated to fire employees and hire new low cost ones.
People need to wake up and be less of a sheep believing evruthing a rotten scumbag ceo says.
This confirms what I thought. Iberia pilots unable to conceive that is airline is able to make a loss, and coming up with theories of robbery by British Airways o cooked books! They are a tiny minority in Spain who clearly do not feel the crisis. After all, they are a privileged group, top earners who don't see anything has changed!
Well, if only that 26% unemployment (yes, it has gone up yet again) was "fabricated". It is not. Spain was riding an economic bubble that burst. Iberia was riding that bubble.
Now, Iberia does not have a divine right to exist. Vueling could do a very good job of connecting Latin America with Europe and beyond through Barajas. It is doing very well in short haul flying and long haul would be just one more step.
If it is Iberia that will continue doing it, it needs to be slimmed down and have a makeover. At the moment, the brand offers little appeal. Bad service and unreliability due to strikes that can happen at any time.
The airline called a meeting, and the pilot's union in typical style, stood them up, according to a letter sent to customers:
Iberia
I don't really hold much hope of an agreement if there is a meeting, when Sepla and its members are so clearly removed from reality that cannot accept that Iberia is making big losses.
