Would not be surprised if this is what happens over the next few years.

The airline industry is one of the most volatile industries for a reason and this pandemic is hammering not only the airline industry but all of the industries that support it. My moms a chef and she cooks the meal that planes use to feed their passengers and she hasnt returned to full time work for almost 4-6 months now. Yeah she got the CERB (2000$ a month) but its not enough to support a 5 people household.

Also stock does not equal instant money. They might have linked the retirement funds of many employees into their stock and a stock collapse might hurt millions of folks who depend on those stocks for their retirement.

Sub par service? You pay for the service you want to get.

The government created this mess so its their job to bail them out. If they wont bail them out then lift lockdown restrictions and let people travel wherever the hell they wanna go.

Airlines have spent decades buying all their own stocks back at the cost of billions....

Wishing people lose their jobs so you can overthrow your perceived idea that the system is corrupt and a form of debt slavery has gotta be the most disgusting chit ive ever heard. I don't have any debt, I make 600$ a year from dividends and this amount is only growing, I've got money saved up in my bank account, and am content with my life.

You live in such luxury that you're ready to lose everything for a system that you perceive as better. Stop demonizing folks that live with their parents into their mid 20's, stop spending like crazy and limit the power of government and watch as things normalize. However wishing that people starve is an evil thought. I wouldn't want my worse enemy to starve to death.

Do you really think 90% of airline workers are flight attendants? You have what 3-4 per flight. Then you have the two captains, the hundreds of groundspeople, the hundreds of people working security, the hundreds of people working in the airport...

While that sucks, we can't bail out everyone in the country. We need to stop spending money on bills to prop up any industry.

Try just opening up everything and they won't need a bailout.

Mindblown at the miscers who think forced shutdowns by the govt = air industry mismanagement. Most profits are paid out as dividends, it is illegal to hold rainy day funds (provisions) without justification at this point in time (I think this is something that might be altered in the post covid era based on net profit and wage expenses). Show me one person who could have predicted this worldwide shutdown with absolute certainty and therefore created a viable provision.

You either force the lockdown and bail the staff out for the duration of it or let businesses trade normally in a non locked down environment.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not my wish, I just don’t see any alternative in waking up a fat, dumb, apathetic population that is being actively fleeced and replaced. Not until the problem is theirs will they care.

Airlines need to cut a lot of overpaid union dead weight, and this is a perfect opportunity to do it while being able to blame government. There are still too many 50+ year old ladies working as flight attendants. GTFO and get someone younger in there who has a nice ass and will work for $20/hr

I assume you're unemployed or work at a supermarket then. If you're employed and were locked down you only have a job because of bail outs *******.

Giving free money to big Corps is wrong and them sacking thousands is also wrong. If the government had a spine they'd put these too big to fail pukes in prison but that will >> never << happen.

Big Corp and Big Government are married together.

When it comes to lay offs they boot the slootsy attendants first ...no flights no need for attendants.... other ground crews are needed and wont be booted first

Fuarrrrk. We're done in one.

Imagine preaching against socialism like a good miscer but not making these greedy fukks raiseprivate fundsleveraged against their assets. If it's too much, go out of business and someone will buy it the next day srs.

The demand for air travel is never going away, which is why they always get away with fleecing us so hard.

They'll lay off 50k even with another bailout. The only difference would be every C level executive would get a fat bonus.
