Goodness, I'm all for solidarity but given the perilous state of the Spanish economy/banking sector/property market is it really the time for them to make their stand?

Have to agree there. All the best to our spanish colleagues. If we pilots do nothing the downward spiral will continue with our T&Cs, as can be observed at RYR and others.

Support for IBE pilots whom are on strike and for those whom are not on Strike
I was interviewed by Spanish TV when the dates for the strike were announced - whether it was aired or not I don't know, but I said I was not in favour. Quite frankly, at a time when millions of Spaniards are unemployed, they set a bad example. Whilst we all have the right to strike, now is not the time.
for IBERIA in general and not forgetting for SPANAIR
Note that this is my personal opinion, a long suffering SELF on IBERIA.

Instead of blaming the pilots for attempting to defend the terms and conditions they signed up for, try blaming the greedy bonus -grabbing managers & self serving politicians who are trying to sell them, & the skills they provide, down the river ,thereby reducing their lot to the lowest common denominator.
I am sure if your boss offered you a 40 ? 50 ? or whatever % paycut you would just meekly accept, bend over & hand him the tube of vasaline ? . . . . well on reflection, yes maybe you would, but do not expect us all to be so pathetic.

how much do Iberia pilots make? I thought they were pretty well protected flying for a national carrier that will NEVER go bankrupt no matter what (see Swiss Air).
With disempleo of 21% what can you complain about? Is life really that bad for them?
Here in the US of A you never know if the the airline you're flying for will be around a few years from now.
