I'm all for strike action if it's done properly. I don't agree with Iberia taxiing at 5 knots for 20 mins to the active runway, this has a safety issue for them and all the aircraft they're back up (35 deg OAT constantly apply brakes all the way to the holding point- would definitely effect RTO performance) and it's completely unprofessional to 'screw' fellow pilots and passengers.

What I hate is they clearly want to screw other companies too, as they increase speed if another aircraft is given a different taxi route to overtake. No other way to describe this other then childish.

It's for reasons like this, that I've no sympathy what so ever to any Iberia pilot - I find them to be a bit of a joke in all honesty. Always saying, 'buen service' (good service) to the USELESS spanish ATC controllers, but never saying it once to any ATC in London. VEry strange that........

When I eventually leave Spain, these are two sets of overpaid and underworked morons I'll be glad to see the back of!
