Alitalia staff earns at least 35% less than other european airline, and work longer hours up to 14 with 2 pilots.
Sounds like two more reasons not to travel with them.

When do you think Alitalia will go bankrupt?
Or will they get even more money from the European Union?
They have survived a long time but are probably moving into the last phase BUT that phase could be extended by another year. Note that I am NOT in the airline/govt/finance world.
They do not receive money from the EU, this practice was stopped many years ago. Also subsidies from their own govt are not permitted. This questions sounds like you might be based in the USA (your profile does not state). There is a continuing belief that European airlines are subsidised by the EU. Whilst some grants are available for specific purposes, it is nothing like it was 20 years ago. I will not comment further about this topic as it usually gives rise to terminal thread drift and a considerable amount of misunderstanding and anger across the pond!
