Please let's not start again with the "how crazy italian people/politics/unions are, no wonder they're in trouble".

I-FORD made an noticeable effort to explain, among other things, the divisions in the "general workers" unions. However, that division most often do not cause much of a problem, in fact these unions are called "confederated".

The issue is that "flying crew" unions, (that just like in most countries, are on their own because this people so want), have seen "a swap of papers" since the preliminary agreement of one month ago. Right or wrong, they have taken the decision not to sign, that is courageous in itself, and must be respected, as right now, it's exactly their jobs at stake. So far, most pilots from other companies have supported that decision.

Many things still have to happen in this sage. Anyone is free to watch and criticize, but I will rebuke sweeping and uninformed statements especially when made by people with little exposure to italian history and politics.
