This is rather funny, in an ironic kind of way.
An agile, low cost (low wage!) wholly owned subsidiary takes a significant bite out of a legacy carrier's SH operation. It does so precisely
BECAUSE it is 'low wage'! But as soon as these low paid workers get the gig and their feet under the table, and 'oust' the fat cats, suddenly they don't want to be 'low paid' any more!!
Exactly the same thing happened with BACX/BA Connect! Where are
THEY now?
Vueling pilots have absolutely
ZERO chance of any meaningful improvement in their T&Cs unless they take significant and prolonged industrial action. Have they the guts? Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Are T&Cs like Vueling's good for pilots anywhere? No of course not. It will inevitably reduce the quality of people prepared to take on such low paid work.
Does anyone think that's a good thing? Or would you like high quality people doing the driving of these complex machines when they seal you into that aluminium tube and point you to the heavens?
