Looking like Alitalia about to go under on monday....
I'll have to see it to believe it.
Very final meeting starting in 10 minutes and the pilot union is starting to give in according to corriere.it
They realise that it's their last shot.

The government will give an offer that is to take or to leave.

And I really cant see banks offering trainee pilots (or anyone else for that matter) £60k+ in the future, unless it is secured on a house with a lot of positive equity in it.
Did UK banks offer unsecured loans to student pilots in the past? Now maybe that's one tiny piece of the reason why there's a credit crunch in the UK?

If unsecured loans happened in the UK, it never happened in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Luxemburg, Swiss, Denmark and Italy.
