Our task is to do whatever is necessary to bring this goal home ». This was stated by the executive president of Italia Transport Aereo, Alfredo Altavilla, on the sidelines of the EY Digital Summit: «The recruitment negotiations are well over. They are all aboard and have signed the contract we sent them. We are finalizing the last ones. I would say the hiring part is behind us ».
Also for this reason the manager said that a strike for the 15th day “would seem to me a national shame and something that would damage the image of our country on an international level. I really can’t understand how that can be a pressure topic. If someone is looking for a way to definitively sabotage this negotiation, the strike on the 15th is the perfect way ”.
Regarding the auction for the brand, Altavilla says: “No wonder it went deserted.” The offer base started at 290 million: «We do not know if we will participate in the second call. It’s a game of poker, and you don’t tell the cards you have in your hand ».
