For those of you who can't read Spanish the gist is that 300 employees, about 120 of them pilots, of Aerolineas and Austral disrupted operations for a number of hours at Aeroparque yesterday. They were demanding that their salary arrears be paid and that their airlines - devastated by years of what could most politely be described as poor management by Iberia and SEPI - not be put into liquidation. After several violent confronataions with the airport police they were persuaded to leave the runway peacefully. There were also protests at Ezeiza which led to last nights Iberia 6844 to Madrid being cancelled. Technical staff occupied the hangars overnight for fear of not being allowed access today
