Airbatic 7eca,
" If you have really encountered a problem in any country, instead of coming on here and bitching like babies, file a report "
When you have the risk of an air ground collision (see previous link Barcelona/atc )
you are addressing a real safety concern.
This report was filed among many others.
Could someone confirm if it is true whether Barcelona and Madrid have the highest number of ASRS reports filed (by Easyjet )?
Does your company have a number of ASR reports filed for flights in Spain ?
Read the post from a Spanish controller who admits they are understaffed and there is money problems.
Changes need to be made in the Spanish ATC system or there will be an incident.
As I said before the chain is as strong as it's weakest link.
Clearly the warning flags are there.
Hell, what do I know but I have been based out of for over 2 and a half years out of Barcelona. I was shocked with the ATC when I first came here.
Would appreciate more insight from a Madrid/Bcn controller ?
I for one would like to get to the heart of the matter.
It is just you expect west European standards and many times you do not get it.
