@Albagr88 Yore lying man. Its 200000 a year and you know it because yore spanish and thats the official data given by the goverment by the goverment on CNN this same week. Its 200000 because they do more hours in extras than in normal hours and there are half the controllers than there is in France for the same air control space. Why arent they coming from abroad? If tehy get 1/2 million for 4 hours a day? ROKEFELLER AIRLINES, IS IT? Diamond windscreens? CAviar for dinner? Russian wodka?

Reagan replaced the air controllers in EE.UU when things got hard. Here in spain there ane not enough not even to keep things running for one day. Pilots wanted to go on strike but they would now face 8 year prison for this if militarized. Its quite funny because things are coming up as a big goverment scam. Controllers right now are acting wise. They are just giving goverment enough rope..

Media is lying constantly to people haere in Spain, still no foreign air controller have accepted the spanish goverment offers. How can this be when they earn so much money for so little time? Menbers of goverment are lying because theyre inplicated in corruption related to the builders of all the new and useless airports, with no traffic, scattered all over Spain. They want to privatize public service at any price and plenty of judges are allready against the goverments action.

The pay is 200.000 euros/YEAR. (official goverment data) Its so high because there are only 2400 air controllers in spain and the goverment hasnt employed any new controllers in 5 years. They get so much money because they are working more extra hours than normal hours. If they would refuse to do this, the air traffic in Spain would colapse.

LOL this shit isn’t exclusive to spain at all, they are just a sign of what’s to come; a society where you can’t eve protest without threat of jail.
Spain, just like every country (including the United States) has NEVER been a democracy, trouble is, most people are too stupid to see it.

The air traffic controllers work four hours a day and charge $ 463.000 per year and above will go on strike, fucking their vacations to people who are unemployed or work for shit, and they are saving all year to leave vacations, they are all sons of bitc***

@ianzph It’s easy, AP is lying. I know of no ATCO anywhere in the world that earns anywhere near that much.

Force someone to work is slavery. Fascist f#%kers
December 19th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
no way they make $463,000…
December 19th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Im just imagining what working conditions could make a $463,000 per year earner go on strike.. Im thinking no holidays, 7 days work per week, 16 to 18 hrs of work per day, no bathroom breaks, 30 minute lunch breaks, no entertainment, no sex..
December 19th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
The air traffic controllers make ruffly 17 times the average Spaniard and they have the nerve to complain about working conditions? Hahaha silly Spaniards.
December 19th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
A mans labor is his. Period.
December 19th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
@ManFaded They could just quit! but no, they want to keep their money! What working conditions? they could buy an awesome cushion chair to sit in front of the radar display and they can supplement their benifets by going out of pocket for an extra insurance policy and still be bringing home shitloads of cash. Taking money and not working is often frowned upon…
