Alitalia Stable?

I'm scheduled to fly to Italy on Alitalia on May 6 (and home on May 24). On a
different forum there is a contributor (who is Italian) who is predicting
doom and gloom; feels that Alitalia is about to go under big time.

I note that Travel Guard is still insuring Alitalia (though not for delays due
to strikes.)

Anyone know anything?

Although I have no inside information... I doubt that Alitalia will go under
in May. Sure there are some problems, but there are many (long)
ways/procedures to resolve them for the long run or to manage them in the
short run.
The only possible problem would be spontaneous strikes, which are not _that_
uncommon in summer in Italy/Greece/France, etc. But there's nothing one can
do about that just sitting it out... Have fun!
