The way I heard it , getting into Iberia before was as stated above "who you know, not WHAT you know"
If we are going to discuss English on the RT, well, Vueling at least speak English when a non-Spanish aircraft is on freq, and do so acceptably well . . . .the old "jurassic" Iberia pilots of 20 odd years ago may have a red face if they tried to claim the same if I remember well.
But, this isn't really an Iberia vs Vueing thread is it ? like every ex state owned flag carrier, Iberia pilots (via Vueling & Ib Express & not strict enough labour law + state "intervention" . . . in the wrong way ) are being shafted.
As to the Vueling Reps negotiating new terms over Dinner with the COO ? ? that will be why two of them are dismissed ? they forgot to bring a Bottle of wine with them to Dinner you think
