ITA Airways Pilot Jobs Situation

last update
Current Situation:  
Not hiring nor planned. However high turnover expected on all fleets and roles in the next 5+ years. Company heavily impacted by PW issues. Low morale especially on SH fleet, especially on A220, both FOs and CPTs. A220 crews have the most unstable rosters and salary, roster changes multiple times even during the same day. Many flights are moved to A320 due to A220 unavailability or due to overbooking. Many flights with low load-factor are just cancelled (NAP, FLR, BLQ, even some LIN). Base choice, fleet choice or change, and command upgrades (although rare for the moment) are totally at Company discretion. In 2025 around 20x crews been moved from A320 to A220, based on juniority. Some SH->LH fleet change for senior FOs in late 2025 based on nobody-knows.
 
22/Nov/25
Outlook:  
Unions unable to reach agreement with Company for new collective labour contract which expired on December 2024. Probably going to strike in December 2025 and on coming months 2026. Many young FOs (both A220 and A320) are leaving (and some already left) for better opportunities in Europe and the Middle East. Lufthansa firm to acquire 90% of ITA in 2026.
