Hey
Today the staff of Alitalia wrote a new black chapter In the history of the Italian airline. It is a shame!
What a weekend with this and the IT problems by British Airways.

Yikes, I hope they still operate after this.
It’s like a competition between BA and Alitalia as to who can cancel the most flights 👀
When it would be so…
They’re spending too much money on aircraft, and not enough on pilots.
Thats not good for them at all! At least they’re able to reassign 80% of the passengers. But that still leaves 20%, I really hope everyone is accommodated for in some way.
For some reason that was incredibly amusing. My nose does not thank you for the coffee I just splurged out of it.
I feel bad for the issues with BA as I don’t want it to affect our Denver flights, but Alitalia is just bad news.
I mean…they are bankrupt… I don’t know what employees were expecting from a bankrupt airline (though this is not an excuse for Alitalia)
The problem is that the managers that were placed as CEO and COO and so on for years actually stole money from the company. I don’t wanna say the name but one of the former presidents actually gave himself some millions €. And they did also some bubububabab with selling-buying. Actually when every airline was pointing to Charter-and low cost services, Alitalia sold their best spumante amd other onboard-services for quite a lot of money. Everyone can understand it doesn’t work!
Or a competition on Infinite Flight to get the most likes!
Well when the current airlines is formed from two former bankrupt airlines you can kinda exoect it to fail if it doesnt change its business model.
A national carrier, failing. Hmm isn’t that a coincidence, no it’s not.
look at Amtrak for instance.
lost 763.6 Million Dollars (of business units) the last decade, for a train company that is sure a bunch but however, this is the national train company. Why is this happening? It’s the customer. The same happened to K-mart, people just don’t want to go there anymore.
In this case, we have better options than Alitalia so we go ahead with the better option and we don’t waste our time. Don’t ask me how I know this much about business.
I personally think that Alitalia will be definitely closed in a few months/days only. If after the injection from
the government they still not able to maintain a correct position it means that the airline owes a lot of money to survive.
Months. There will be a result in August. It was official ;-)
Who wants to overtake Alitalia?
Why is it a shame?
Do you know the situation of alitalia?
The workers have their reasons! If that company fails it is not by the workers’ fault, but the managers who are super-paid and are incompetent!
They loose more than one million per day
This was bound to happen, unfortunately. Bankruptcy etc. I hope they can run properly after this matter is resolved.
Without going too far off topic, it’s partly that Amtrak are legally obliged to continue highly unprofitable routes, only a few (Boston-NYC) are actually profitable as the nature of the US (Big) means trains are inferior to planes, but some small communities rely on these routes as their only way to travel long distance, whereas alitalia is a flag carrier and not (I believe) government funded and therefore are able to (though they failed) be more like a business. Wendover productions has a good video on this: Why do trains in the US suck?
Also amtrak own very little railway
With whats happening, Alitalia will probably close down within a couple of months. I hope they resolve the issue with the bankruptcy because Alitalia is a good airline
