I have two points to add.
First, at least this proves to the management that pilots still have value
Second, try coming to China.
-One or two RAs per pilot per year is the norm
-90 degree vectors onto final are not uncommon
-Frequent banter in Chinese on 121.5
-Being told to hold short, and watch local aircraft take an intersection departure right in front of you
-being told to hold en-route for 2 hours (ie go back)
-being told to descend to FL157 250 miles from destination
-the controllers only understand standard ICAO words, making non-standard situations impossible to communicate (either way)
-and my favourite, the Korean junior controllers that cannot actually say some numbers
At least we dont get vectored into the mountains anymore.
That's not saying the situation in Spain is acceptable. Its just normal in other parts of the world
