But thanks for the link, what I cant understand is if you know there are one hour delays, why do you give us a CTOT that gets us to MAD in the middle of these delays?
Because we donīt. Flow regulations and measures are taken, once again, by people sitting on their desks at AENA management buiding. You mix up over and over again things about the ATM system in Spain, unique in the world: no controllers having operative responsabilities, only politicians.
It looks like you donīt understand that we do agree with you, this is a disaster. Itīs august and we have already 3 million minutes acumulated delay in Spain, and still 4 more months to go.
And itīs, again, one of the reasons why direct routings are not issued so easily. Everything has been pushed so to the limit that if the traffics are not where they are supposed to be at a certain time, it can cause a real mess, holdings, delays, etc. And that doesnīt help us make any point, believe me.
Complain, write reports, but not to AENA but to EASA and EUROCONTROL. This is getting worse everyday, and nobody here seems to give a s*** but us. And OUR reports (we make a whole lot everyday) are stopped by the local "safety" system.
Best.
