Barajas - AMX tail strike

It has been circulating in an aviation blog in Spain that AMX pilots din't report any tail strike to tower on rotation so a runway inspection was not carried out after the incident plane departed. Again, as per this aviation blog, AMX did only report returning to Madrid due to pressurization problems; also after AMX departure, there were 7 additional departures before AEA took off without any incident; this probably due to short or medium range flights whereas AEA was a long haul flight to Caracas.
