politicians in banana republics always use "Nationalism" as a cover-up for corruption

If true and Alitalia do go completely out of business (which I doubt, the italian government won't allow it) then about time. Not bad news at all, talk about cutting off your nose despite your face!! I don't get the union's thinking, they will not make concessions to their extravegent working practices, apparently preferring the airline to go bust and therefore lose everything. BIZARRE

Quite frankly I have very little sympathy for them. The unions had their chance to save the company. The wanted a solution that suited only them, and now they have nothing. It is not as though there weren't people interested in buying them.
Now there are no jobs for anybody!!!! There are times in life where you have to concede defeat....they didn't.....now they have nothing

Rescue scuppered by Pilot and FA unions. Liquidation means no redundancy packages (which had been offered under the rescue proposals).
Union shop stewards, you've gotta love em!!

For the last 2 decades at least this airline has been in its own death throes. Now, it really is breathing its last few gasps of air. Finally, and not before time too.
Goodbye Alitalia. You were a dinosaur and a relic. You WILL NOT be missed by anyone.
Thanks Flipping Madly, "throws" corrected to "throes". I shall now go and self flagellate with a couple of rattan canes and a damp edition of "The Log"!
Edited for spelling correction.

Be careful, you'll get flamed for suggesting that posts are actually spelled right and are grammatically correct. Welcome to the spelling and grammar police.
Pity about Alitalia though, Trieste is good kick-off point for Istria but, if the unions want to commit suicide.....
And I am a strong trade unionist.
