I may be treading on some toes here, but:
Am I the only one who sees Alitalia as a monstrosity, fed with (European) subsidy, managed by the unions, instead of managers, that should be downsized radically and union influence reduced to more believable levels to make it a profitable, healthy company?
Small companies who unfortunatly have not made it, such as XL, with aircrew tossed out, must be fuming at the mouth that such a company as Alitalia is still on artifical lifesupport, with help from the Italian government?
I do not say that Alitalia must go under, but it must rethink its strategy, and the unions influence must be downsized radically.
For the staff of Alitalia, this constant niggling about deatils must be frustrating, because they still do not know if they still have a job or not.
Good luck to the staff and lets hope something positive will come out in the end.
