Unfortunately not too many... most still manage to cling somehow to their posts, have a look at Mr. Camps in Valencia as a key example. If it weren't for Italy we would look very bad indeed
Anyway, I could talk about criminallity in UK, or their teen pregnancy rate, or their suicide rate...
but it seems to me none of this would be of any interest or use to this topic so let's go back to talk about something more professional.
If you have flown this morning over the Canary islands you may have had severe delays. he reason for this is that AENA had decided to shut down one of the VORs (initially scheduled for 15th November) but many ATCOs did not have time to required training on alternate procedures.
With blatant disregard for elemental safety, AENA ordered controllers to their posts regardles of whether they had the training for it. Failure to comply was threathened with immediate job termination (they brought lawyers and notarys).
Issue is still not resolved and could possibly lead to a chain reaction across all the spanish workcenters.

Good luck and fly safe.
