ATC;
Unlike the Spanish ATC, should a pilot group elect to drop tools in an industrial disagreement, they are not the only game in town and the customer base will simply take their business elsewhere. We do not have that option with ATC in Spain. That is why it is so frustrating to put up with their continuing nonsense. A colleague of mine had a two turn hold on a VMC day at Reus yesterday because a C172 on a practice IFR flight was slotted in ahead of them by Barcelona.
