RE: Aircraft Sabotaged As Talks Begin On Job Cuts

If I had reservations on Alitalia I would cancel them or try to transfer them to another airline. I'd rather be out a couple of thousand bucks and in one piece than scattered over the Pyrenees because some chav mechanic(s) is/are unhappy w/their union contract.
