Problem is that AENA management couldn't care less that we are flying routes 'by the book'. Our colleagues in ATC need to realise this and to understand that their target for this action is very much misplaced. No one even knows what's going on with this 'unhelpfulness' except us so how can it ever benefit the cause. As for what it's got to do with the French controllers I don't know. All in all a very sad state of affairs for two sets of professionals in this industry.
