Bonjour Heavylanding,
I'm a E145 first officer for Alitalia Express. I'm not sure I understood what kind of information you want, but I try to give you a small answer. In Alitalia group if you want to have a career as pilot you usually work your way inside the pilot union, eventually get notice by the managment and maybe you get a position inside the pilots organization. Another way is to start to work for a department like Flight Safety, tech, Standardization, Human factor and so on. Both ways require to spend (especially at the beginning) some rest days inside offices, attending meeting and stuff like that. Usually the people that commute do not do that.
Let me know if you have any other question.
I'm going on vacation for two weeks so if you do not hear from me...well be patient .
see you ciao
