Yes, this is true, however it isn't all so rosy as the future for a good number of the pilots at Iberia is unknown. IAG, the parent company of Iberia and British Airways, started up a lowcost airline called Iberia Express, with much worse terms and conditions, in order to compete against other European lowcost airlines. One year after starting Iberia Express, IAG announced that they were going to purchase the remaining share of Vueling (the lowest A320 paying job in Europe) and that they were going to merge Vueling and Iberia Express and eliminate the Iberia Express brand which they just started. In addition to this, they are going to eliminate 25 shorthaul aircraft from their fleet, and 4500 employees. Essentially, short haul product is going away and being replaced by a low cost model.

Every guy in Spain wants to work at Iberia, but they haven't hired in 12 years and probably won't for a long time. Oh well

Iberia is losing 25 airplanes from its fleet and there is a reduction of 4,500 employees, some pilots are losing their jobs too. No other options in Spain at the moment since all airlines there are struggling so to the expat market they go.

I don't know about their pilots, but I ready this a while back about their ATC controllers.

Guys, being from Spain I know a few of Iberia pilots (not many) but I'll tell you that the amount of money they are talking about is far from true for the average Captain, even less for a junior captain.

In China, small airbus capts have typical base pay of $20K/month. ERJ-145/170/190 base $15K/month with paid upgrade to small airbus in one year. Have seen at least one job for ERJ-170/190 capts at base $18.5/month, with paid upgrade to small airbus after 1 year.

China is getting more and more desperate, and the small airbus fleet is where most pilots are needed. In the last week, airbus received orders for about 300 small airbuses, many of those in Asia.
