      It is. Not to defend Vueling but the decision was made by the mother group IAG that ordered those aircraft in 2022 and just decided to put them at Vueling.

      That’s really dumb to break type and cockpit commonality at a low cost carrier. Type rating alone will cost a shit ton of money and those pilots won’t be able to fly on the other aircraft, breaking the flexibility offered by Airbus.

      But this seems to be a high level decision at IAG and not a Vueling one, maybe they are not happy with that as well.

      Hope can remain tho, as the max 10 is still not flying and the max 8 is still a delayed horse shit, with new problems with its leap-b engine that will probably trigger a new FAA investigation. So maybe canceling the 2022 order might come to mind 🤷🏻‍♂️

      They probably have good reasons to that are less obvious. If they didn’t have an order already, I think it’ll take 10-15 years for anything they order to be delivered by Airbus (assuming no delays, too). So maybe they just can’t wait and others stop buying Boeing (also for good reasons, obviously), so there are spots open or something?
