AVSEC: your insinuation could be true only in the case of the nationwide union termed CGIL, that by now has come to softer stance.
However, the stumbling block have been pilot's unions ANPAC and UP that are exclusively made of Alitalia pilots. That they took the position they had for mere personal interest, would be hard to theorize.
Once again, collect facts before talking about stuff you don't know. It would be like me debating Scottish law in relation to England, or if you guys should get a national ID card or not.
