Thumbs down AZ customer service haha

AZ cancels 578 and rebooks everyone on a flight 6.5 hours later without informing or compensating customers (in violation of EC 261/2004, which they regularly flaunt, according to the police in FCO with whom I filed a complaint). Since they cancelled it a few days ago, they claim it does not exist (although exists on other days and still shows up in Amadeus).

The only thing I can say, is don't believe **anything** Alitalia tells you. And certainly nothing you read in any reservation system.
AZ is last resort for anyone wanting reliability. Customer service is an oxymoron there.
