Well informed sources tell me that in a few units, including Valencia and Palma, new working schedules are to be introduced. Basically, they'll be six consecutive working days, ending with a night shift. After the sleeping day, there'll be just one day off, and then back to the next six.
Of course, under the new regulations, we have no say. So if you fly to the east of Spain this summer, be considerate to your pilots if they suddenly give the plane a beating in order to avoid disaster amongst knackered controllers.
