I can see it from both sides:
The frustration of workers being battered and barged from all sides in the middle of a thumping recession.
Then again the reluctance to shift to more 'modern' (and questionably better) working practices.
On a bright note:
My frequent trips to BCN find the airbridge connected very quickly (why does it always seem to take so long at LGW/LHR - perhaps these 'modern' working practices) and the IB staff who handle the pax svc part of the work are efficient and professional, if somewhat steeped in their own companies procedures.
It's going to be a hard, long, and bumpy haul for Spain and I wish a people I have a great respect for all the best.
I also think some other countries have a somewhat ostrich with head in the sand attitude to their own problems.
