Alitalia union boss philosophical about job losses ahead of Etihad stake sale | The National

Alitalia union boss philosophical about job losses ahead of Etihad stake sale | The National:



"Giovanni Galiotto says that 71 members of his union stand to lose their jobs when Etihad Airways buys its stake in Alitalia – but all things considered, that’s a fair outcome.



Roughly five years ago, Alitalia was privatised and 850 pilots lost their jobs. This time, Mr Galiotto thinks he has snatched a better deal for the scores of pilots he represents as the president of Anpac, the Associazione Nazionale Piloti Aviazione Commerciale.



“Seventy one pilots will be made redundant. But they will have the chance to apply for a job with Etihad. We were officially told that Etihad will have a short recruitment process for Alitalia pilots. They will have the chance to relocate to Abu Dhabi and fly with Etihad,” Mr Galiotto said at his office near Fiumicino Airport in Rome."
