VJW please open your eyes (and don't do like vueling FOs & new capt who widely open something else...). Skills is not a matter of experience. Yes you can buy a type rating but you will never be able to buy skills. Besides the ridiculous T & Cs offered by vueling, you should investigate how laughable is their pilot selection and I guaranty that you will be amazed. Also have a look at who they are looking for: no experience, no university background, just a CPL licence and some vaseline will do it.
Iberia, when its network was not yet eaten by ryanair and vueling, had a top selective process to recruit the best pilots, even some with low flying experience, it was hard but fare because then the T & Cs offered were respectfull. Can't you just hear the difference of professionalism when you listen to an Iberia pilot on the freq versus a vueling guy? Oh yes when you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
Most of ex military pilots went to Iberia before, none of them now dare to apply to vueling, they rather prefer doing another job.
