Airlines Workers / Iberia to slash pilots salaries by at least 14% as Alitalia avoids 1,900 layoffs

Spanish flag carrier Iberia said Wednesday it had reached a deal with its pilots to slash their salaries by at least 14 percent, part of its bid to return to profit.

Iberia’s roughly 1,400 pilots will see their salaries reduced by 14 percent, and possibly by another 4.0 percent depending on the airline’s profitability, under the deal reached with pilots’ union SEPLA, the airline said in a statement.
