My bold... 2011!!!
Spanish atc have a gripe with ryanair, this report of a minor event that happened 2 years ago makes quite clear how petty they are! I believe this was during the air traffic controller strikes in spain, when indeed military controllers took over and forced the controllers to work. Which might explain the controllers horrible attitude.
