European Flight Level Adherence Days
It seems that crews are generally not impressed by refusals by ATC , particularly in Spain, to requests for clearances that deviate from the FPL.
I wonder how the forthcoming Eurocontrol Flight Level Adherence Days - 29/30 September - when such practice is supposed to be applied in large parts of European airspace will be received?
There has been a year-long awareness campaign. How effective has it been, do you know about the trial days?
As an ex-controller, it goes against the grain not to offer a more efficient clearance if it's possible, but on the other hand I can see what the trial/idea is trying to achieve. What are your thoughts?

Awareness campaign? Certainly has reached us lowly excuses for human being sitting in the front end being overpaid and sipping coffee. Must have become stuck somewhere in the more enlightened ranks in the flight operations office.
Have read something about the adherence days, but i think it was on pprune, not in any company information.

Flight level adherence day
Hi,
have you been briefed about this already and what do you think about it?
I guess they will find out that nothing really changes for the better. Of course I´m the typical ATCO being sceptical about things like this but having a slot window of 15 minutes will have much more influence than direct routings or other than filed flightlevels.
In my unit we have just received a little brochure so far and I doubt we will get more than this.

personly I´m curious for the results altough I think in my case(who flies mostly to spain and portugal) this is not an issue becouse there is not so much traffic as in nortern europe ,was it not for the "secret strike" from spanish controllers.what I´m more curious about is what happened to the plans for dct in most countries or so called free routing, the only country which i know who adhered to this was portugal..
