Hi there!
This question is for controllers from Spain-we all know how was the situation like there,but we don”t have any other information about how is it now.Can you give me some details,I mean what is changed there.I have just been recently to Maastricht and one controller told me that the situation in Spain is not so good for the moment and that spanish controllers are trying to go to Maastricht,to get a job there.Is that true?
As for the impact the massmedia had in the situation of ATCos in Spain,I can say it was a big one and not in the favour of controllers-I was in a trip in Spain and the taxi driver,also the guy from the reception were talking only about the huge sallaries of the controllers and how greedy they are...actually not so many people know what is exactly behind the job itself-a very demanding job,night shifts,holy days spent in front of the radars and others.In my country if you ask somebody about air traffic controllers they will say that we have huge sallaries-nothing more!I think that we should work a little bit more about our image-and I am talking here about our companies and about media.
