Strikes, delays, cancellations & Alitalia talks profit

Whilst pilots, attendants and ground crew threaten with strike about job cuts, after the merger with AirOne, Alitalia CEO Rocco Sabelli talks about a financial recovery after the major restructuring taking place. What Mr Sabelli has not talked about is any improvement in the key areas

So has the situation changed?

"a better financial future at our expense"

Before the 2008 sale, Alitalia was collapsing after years of posting a loss and mounting huge debt. However Alitalia's name is still synonymous with lost luggage, bad customer service, flight delays and union strikes.

So the recovery Mr Sabelli talks about, should be for the lost faith in his company's ability to respect it's customers, before he insults everyone by presenting their better financial future at our expense.
