ANOTHER DAY OF CHAOS IN ITALY... WHERE THE COUNTRY'S OFFICIAL AIRLINE CANCELS MORE THAN TWO-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-FIVE FLIGHTS..
THE MOVE CAME AFTER HUNDREDS OF FLIGHT ATTENDENTS CALLED IN SICK FOR A FOURTH DAY -- PROTESTING PLANS TO REDUCE CABIN CREWS ON FLIGHTS.
THE SICK-OUT LEFT THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS STRANDED AT ROME'S FIUMICINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT...
MEANTIME, OTHER AIRLINE EMPLOYEES WENT AHEAD WITH A PREVIOUSLY-PLANNED FOUR-HOUR STRIKE AGAINST A MANAGEMENT COST-CUTTING PROGRAM.
IN RESPONSE--ALITALIA AIRLINES SAID IT WOULD CALL OFF MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED DOMESTIC AND MORE THAN ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FOURTEEN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS DURING THE DAY.
