More than 1000 hours TT waooo respect respect

What kind of experience, is that FI overlogging hours in VFR in spain or block hours in MIami or is that bush pilot experience or king air or metro.

Fact is that most guys are unexperienced, with a bad english level rounded up to icao level 4, they are ******* desesperate to join an airline based in spain on an A320, even for a 6 months contract with a basic pay of 830 euros/month before tax and a randam roster with 4 long sectors a day in the morning back home to rest 10 hours and back to night flights for a 2 long sectors etc etc etc.

Yes lots of maintenance issues at vueling, and the spanish CAA is behind them. Lots of nogos and captains under pressure to leave the ramp with a MEL restriction. Many problems with heavy landings due to lack of experience and proper training quality.
