Bitter sweet. I hate seeing people lose their jobs, but a ME3 owns 49% so it doesn’t make me feel that bad.

No... poor management and lets just say for a lack of better terms.... poor use of cash infusions.

Italy was always my favorite vacation destination.

Great place to relax and do nothing, in the place relaxing and doing nothing is national pasttime.

Just got back from vacationing in Italy. Spent a few days in Austria and Germany at the end. Night and day difference in the work attitude of the locals.

Why is this under ‘Majors’ and why does anybody care about a European Airline you haven’t even heard of before?
Even Air Italia tanked and that’s the government sponsored Airline.
