the idea of having italian ATCOs moving to Spain to be INSTRUCTORS there is simply ridiculous,for many reasons:

first,passing from stripless to strips is VERY difficult,I've done it myself and I can tell you,it's TOUGH.

second:ATC is not like flying,and therefore you simply can't move one guy from one sector to another.
to be safe and expeditious you need a lot of time to get to know EACH sector,the rules,conditions and things that relate to it,and therefore,to be able to work SAFELY in one sector it takes you at least one year (and instructing in it even more,of course).

Third:how can you expect an italian guy going to spain-with the current situation our spanish colleagues are going thru- and expect a NICE living?
work will be hell and also people around you will treat you like THE ENEMY.

all this simply doesn't make any bloody sense!!!!
