The executive president of Ita beats cash. Alfredo Altavilla criticizes the remuneration, in his opinion too low, that the top managers of the company born from the ashes of Alitalia receive. Including his.

A fixed annual remuneration, that of the president, of 400 thousand euros gross , to which an equal amount can be added in the variable part.

The salaries were outlined by the Remuneration Committee and then approved by the board of directors and the Ministry of Economy, the sole shareholder of Ita. They do not take into account, Altavilla argues, of his “necessary abandonment of a similar top position in a listed company”. Therefore his salary is “seriously damaging to my managerial history, experience and competence . As well as in total misalignment with the results of the action so far expressed in society ".

According to the president of the company, the Remuneration Committee should have discussed it with him and the other managers before deciding on the salaries.

THE CRITICISM

From the extreme right to the extreme left, there is no shortage of harsh criticism. “You are right to complain about the low pay, given the enormous work done in favor of Lufthansa . If it had worked in recent months for the reorganization of Alitalia, for the safeguarding of Italian air transport and, at least, to build equal partnerships with the other national airlines, the Italian State would have had to adequately enhance it ", jokes the vice president of Chamber of Deputies Fabio Rampelli . "But - continues the exponent of the Brothers of Italy - given the results, the compensation increase claimed must have Berlin as its recipient and not Rome".

"The equivalent of years, decades of work for many, not really crumbs", affirms the secretary of the Italian Left Nicola Fratoianni , who defines those of Altavilla as " out of reality, steeped in arrogance and profound hypocrisy ". “I don't remember similar words - continues Fratoianni - when in the transition from the old Alitalia to the new company the salaries of pilots and flight attendants were brutally cut, even more than 55% less”.
