This closure has been in the pipeline for quite a wihle. As Mrs Mc Call mentioned, EZY tried to improve things there, but for all of us who fly in and out of MAD, we have to admit this is an absolute pain, a ****ty waste of time on the taxiway, and we love to experience the obvious "sorry, you missed your slot" (a slot ? which slot ??
)
I much prefer working for a company that closes non profitable bases and who cares about their employees. Sure this is crap for people who enjoyed their lifestyle there, but at least they will be offered a job in one of the numerous other bases.
Don't forget the 8 aircraft will be sent to France (CDG), Italy (?), England (?) or Switzerland (BSL). Hopefully all the crew will find a good alternative solution to what is happening to them.
