ROME - Holiday travelers are scrambling to find flights out of Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport a day after dozens flights were grounded because of a wildcat strike. The baggage handlers and maintenance staff walked off the job Monday to protest negotiations with CAI, the group of investors that plans to relaunch a smaller, more efficient Alitalia next month. The walkout stranded holiday travelers, many of whom were still sleeping on airport benches or standing on long lines Tuesday morning waiting for flights out. As part of the launch of the new airline, Alitalia formally put 46 aircraft up for sale Tuesday.
