Anybody else sense a bit of thread drift? the story so far:
The mean spanish government has decided that air trafic controllers in Spain are a soft target and are hell bent on implementing change.
The plucky controllers are winning the hearts and minds of their friends the pilots and passengers by working to rule.
Anyone who does not agree is a fascist and does not understand that innocent people occasionally get hurt in a war.
.................
The (alternate universe) other view is that Spain along with much of europe is essentially bankrupt. The controllers have been onto a nice little number where some of them have been earning a lot of money and not providing a particularly good service.
When faced with a government determined to push through change the controllers have started behaving like soldiers in Vietnam and got a bit confused about who is the enemy, remember the village scene in Platoon?
Rather than fighting a disciplined campaign they are playing right into the hands of the spanish government. If they carry on as they are doing the end result will be the same as for the americans in Vietnam.
