Rod Eddington, I think it is you who is pathetic. You obviously have no comprehension whatsoever of what is at stake here. If AENA and the Spanish government were to succeed with their draconian and undemocratic methods, other countries could follow suit - not just in aviation but in all industries - and we would soon all be in the same boat, sorry make that slaveboat. Ultimately, the Spanish controllers are arguably fighting our war too.
