It's a bit late for that... the whole country has been unfit for purpose for at least five years.
Well...not correct...Italy won the world cup

That's what the Pilots union are pinning ALL their hopes on. When you have a job in Italy, in many cases you got it by using a family connection or actually bribing an official to get it. Italian labor law makes it extremely hard to terminate someone for poor performance, so.....

.....Much of the time the attitude is... This is my job, it is bought and paid for. That's a difficult mentality to get past.
Seems that you a lot of insight about the job market in Italy, unfortunately are pretty wrong...poor performance is a valid reason for dismissal according to the Italian labor law, agreed that the law makes extremely hard to terminate the job...
Anyway the bribing or family connection is an insult to millions of Italians that deserve they job and got it by merit.
