McNulty I totally agree!
The only thing I would add is their current work to rule is not achieving anything! They might as well just go on a proper strike for a few days and be done with it. Would have a much bigger impact and would get their point across (not that its valid anyway).
All its doing is reducing air safety by cramming loads of a/c on the same route and the same place. As well as causing a bad atmosphere between controllers and pilots, particularly at FR.
Bean counters in a few months will notice a slightly higher fuel burn, and the percentage of on time arrivals will slowly decrease.... but this is surely not going to have an impact on the ts and cs of these controllers!! - even though they are apparently loaded anyway.
All we can do is keep our wits about us when we go to Spain, as McNulty says something dreadful could easily happen with their current unprofessional attitude.
My message to them is: EITHER WORK PROPERLY OR DON'T BOTHER TURNING UP AT ALL!!
