The new Vueling management clearly needs to improve the pay and working conditions for Vueling pilots. The treatment of Vueling pilots has to change for if Vueling wishes to keep pilots. Vueling could hire the best pilots in Spain as there was nobody else hiring, that has changed/ as many more wish to leave. There is also poor management from Iberia with not enough coordinators at peak times, HIL items,etc. Maintenance parts for Vueling kept in Madrid. Temporary pilot contracts where they put Captains in the right seat in the winter. FO's let go in the winter with no compensation, and then Vueling expects them to want to come back. Many airlines have had pilots go to strike for lesser issues than what Vueling pilots have had to put up with. Many more Vueling pilots will leave to Easyjet, Ryanair, Turkish and China. Unless Vueling management wakes up. it will cost the airline more doing nothing than improving conditions. Not good business sense. Yes, there appears to be a training interest in having Vueling as a training airline.
