IN THE WAKE OF THE PILOTS STRIKE COMPANY IBERIA, would affect the operation


A strike by airline pilots
IBERIA,
could cause problems in all locations covered by the company, including frequency-BOGOTA This strike could force the cancellation of 240 flights daily, the work stoppage began on July 10 Monday, after negotiations between the main English airline Iberia and pilots union leaders ended without an agreement.
"Iberia inform customers that, due to the strike by the pilots union SEPLA, the company is going to be forced to cancel a portion of the scheduled flights" The pilots fear that the investment made Iberia in the new low-cost airline CATair lead to the elimination of jobs and have therefore begun a six-day strike that started at midnight on Sunday, unless Iberia guarantee their jobs. The airline has denied having plans to conduct layoffs. is unknown how many of the nearly 1,900 Iberia pilots will participate in the strike, but the airline is concerned that some 1,500 flights and around 200,000 passengers could be affected in those six days.
The statement added that "It would also provide long-haul flights, with no destination left unattended, and about half of Europeans and Spaniards. It is also guaranteed the operation of more than 77 percent of flights Bridge service between Madrid and Barcelona. "
The Ministry of Transportation decided that the minimum service must include a daily flight on each route, so it would be most affected domestic travel in Spain and other European destinations.

Other routes, like Chicago, United States, will not be affected because there is only one daily flight.

However, the route between Barcelona and Madrid, which has 44 daily flights will be affected.

Iberia, which seeks to reduce labor costs and eliminating flights that do not produce profits had fallen from some services from Barcelona airport to make way for the launch in that city of CATair.

Iberia hopes to direct most of its flights from its hub in Madrid, where profitable long-haul flights originate. Some 350 Iberia pilots currently traveling on the road to Barcelona.

Iberia and four other companies formed a partnership and announced the launch of CATair in April. Iberia will retain a 20% voting in the new airline and a 80% stake in an investment estimated at 24 million euros (30 million).

Iberia will not be responsible for the administration of CATair, which is released from high labor costs associated with its own operations.

CATair will have a fleet of 30 aircraft by 2008. --- __
