Still waiting for your proof that this is not just in your head and that it is official action by Spanish ATCOs...
Meanwhile, the tone of your posts really does you no good, and your grasp of facts governing shortcuts are poor.
Like just because he's a frustrated failed pilot perhaps??? That'll be ok then would it?
Why does his reply make him a frustrated failed pilot? I'm an ATCO and I wouldn't want to be an airline pilot for all the tea in China 
.
Horses for course really. Of course, you're basing that statement on your apparent belief that pilots are superior to ATCOs (ex RAF aircrew are we??)
The ONLY reason not to is safety! Jeeeeesus!
There are numerous reasons for saying no to a shortcut, try reading the link from Gonzo.
God there’s always one eh?
when I know its down to some purile(sic) "action" then yes I would like to tease that out of the controller
not very professional use of RT eh?
the controllers in Spain mostly come from the same gene pool as the management so they won't bend to pressure IMHO
A very balanced set of quotes from a greatplayer 
unfortunately act700 seems to be from the same mould
And for all you high and mighty controllers out there: you're there because of airplanes
afterall, there are non-radar procedures for airplanes to follow
Now there's a valid argument... not.
