Nothing exemplifies the power and stupidity of unions more than the crisis at Alitalia.
I hear the pilots union has accepted the rescue deal. I don't know the details yet, but if we discover that their refusal to take their shafting on day 1 (as you recommend) has resulted in an improvement in their situation - I guess you'll have to eat your words, eh?
And whatever the deal - please notice - Alitalia has not collapsed, folded, failed, or wound up.
Your scare-mongering is self defeatist. There's a lot of it about.
Which reminds me, Playstation - perhaps I was too harsh. Let me re-phrase.
Thank you for your past service, if you have nothing further to offer we regret to see you go, but these times call for Fortitude and Leadership, so allow the new batch to get on with the job - and enjoy your retirement.
