When there are public services being reduced to the minimum, public sector workers not being paid and the Spanish economy in dire straights, do you really think the electorate will care for attitudes such as yours?

I detect that you are possibly one of the ATCOs who will be most affected by the proposed change i.e. You are not in a position to take early retirement and the generous severence package which goes with it. Or indeed, the offer of early retirement, the package and to return to work as an OJTI on a contract basis paying around 500 euro per day?
The facts are that FerroNats and SAerco will need experienced Spanish ATCOs to take up management and training positions to oversee the transition period and to cover for the forseeable future.
The fact is that there are 100s of potential trainees out there who can fill the basic ADI positions which are now being advertised and many of them are undertaking their training in the UK to equip them with a UK licence (valid worldwide).
Privatisation is the only way forward, if you are an experienced Spanish ATCO, you would be very silly not to take advantage of the possibilities whilst they are available.
