Please accept my apologies, as dav vader mentions I was refering to the way the AFIS issue was handled in Spain.

Their selection process was nonexistent (they were a political decission so they were needed with urgency... selected were some within Aena or Senasa who had some "relationship to aviation"... and very good connections). After several failures in terms of implementation (GCHI was demoted to AFIS but after many local protests they got back to ATC control... who where the same guys with a blitz upgrade training )

After that no further AFIS training has been done (to my knowledge).


Oh, and back again to the FerroNats topic, I've heard (unconfirmed, as usual) that those who have failed their local unit endorsement have NOT been moved to another tower to start again their training there but have been fired instead. Guess FerroNats was started to get some concerns about the reported abismal level of their employees and is trying to at least weed out the worse
