All Alitalia staff were sacked at the end of last year. About half of them have been rehired at reduced T&Cs and folded into Air One. 'Alitalia' isn't an airline as such, it's a brand of the new entity. This is not a time for militancy, particularly as they will be going head-to-head with Lufthansa italia. Spinetta and Air France haven't put a foot wrong so far, I can't believe he doesn't know exactly what he's doing.
