description Air France-KLM needs Alitalia like a pilot needs fog and a fuel leak. No wonder investors dumped Air France-KLM stock Thursday on news they are in talks, however preliminary, about a tie-up or merger. Strikes in the third quarter helped pitch Alitalia into an operating loss and pushed its net debt beyond the 1 billion euro mark. And with confusion persisting over whether management or the unions control the Italian airline, even trying to asses potential merger synergies between Alitalia and Air France-KLM looks premature.
