I think the days for Alitalia are counted. Basically other airlines were interested, but demanded pretty much free hand, unhindered from labor unions. The Italian government cannot promise that unions accept cuts in labor, actually I would bet they go on strike (seems to be some kind of pleasure for them).
Alitalia gets less attractive each month, and other airlines (Lufthansa, AF-KLM, Airone) are happily cannibalizing its market. The last time I looked its overall revenues were down to one billion per quarter (they publish figures on the net).
And unions will achieve they final goal: 100% spare time for the majority of its members.
