According to the El Diaro Online press
¨Vueling pilots have called on the management of the company " paid according to the market and not below "
in negotiating the Collective Agreement , as well as improvements in quality of life through a strengthening of the programming operations .
Andrea Calcagni , representative Sepla - Vueling Union , told Efe that is not true that the pay scales of Vueling copilots are in the levels of Iberia after the signing of the agreement between the technical crew of this company and the company.
Calcagni said that the agreement reached with the lowest level of input in Iberia has been set at 35,000 Euros per year , while Vueling this level does not exceed
11,000 Euros base pay per year,
The representative of the pilots recalled that the first Vueling Collective Agreement was signed "with great effort, as was the merger with Clickair at a time when both companies had losses."
Therefore ,the Vueling management has rejected a fixed pay increase , " mainly because it is not formed by the same people who signed the above, " the commitment to sign the lowest wages for a pay increase in the negotiation of the Second Convention was accepted " as is the case of Luis Gallego, who is now the president of Iberia " .
In addition, the Sepla Vueling pilot union criticized the management of Vueling for non clearance of wage increases for 550 airline pilots and propose that wages remain as before.¨
