Alitalia deserves to go belly up

If Alitalia is not the worst International Airline carrier which one is? The unions who instruct their employees to walk out on strikes regularly just because they can gave Air France/KLM a take it or leave it offer in their negotiations. Air France/KLM were negotiating with the union as part of their plan to acquire Alitalia. With the same disdain they have shown the public and their employer the Italian Government for decades their demands forced Air France to break off the negotiations thus jeopardizing any deal to save Alitalia from bankruptcy.

I have been traveling to Sicily for over 20 yrs via Alitalia. It's always something with this government run airline that just cannot make money nor provide quality service. I think that they should go belly up...they have earned that. However, I hope that happens after the summer season because Italy is the most popular destination of tourists in Europe and the disruption in this summer's travel would be catastrophic if they went out of business before September. Also, it would mess up my plans and we can't have that. Go Alitalia!
