Hard facts
...some hard data on AZ from European Airline Association (the year is 2006):
1) the ratio of people vs plane: Az 62 ,Iberia 159, British 808, Af-Klm 659, Lh 542
2) money made pro capite (for the company) Az 413300 euro, 210000 Lh,188900 Af-Klm
3) goods transported..first place as of personnel productivity
4) every 100 euro earned: AZ 15,6 for personnel, 94,2 for all others"items" that is a -9,9euro. Af-Klm 31,5 for personnel, 65,6 for "items" +2,8 euro. That means that Az pays 25% more for "items" than other airlines and about 50% less for personnel
..and this is only part of it...and now all they (CAI) can do is cut our benefits,salary,seniority,annual leave....because (they say) WE are the cause of all that is happened and happening.....this is all you can hear and read in Italy right now...next time I'll try to explain why there is a Cai trying to "save" AZ....
