It looked at the time that not only the media were eager to point fingers but the Spanish authorities as well.... it was a pretty dirty discussion at the time also because allegedly some spanish carriers were given priorities over the flights in question helping to cause the situation that emerged.
In the mean time quite a lot of people had to concede that those airlines may warrant criticism in many regards but their safety record is something that others envy them for. Why? Maybe because those airlines in question know DARN well that they can't afford any major incident or accident because they would be torn to pieces, even though other players may get away with much worse stuff and nothing happens.
