Honestly I’m certainly not rooting for any airline to fail. In fact, their mostly awesome contracts are the only hope the LCCs and ULCCs pilots have. BUT, the government bailouts and handouts should be distributed evenly based on airline size.

As far as the government closing down the Europe and Pacific routes, you’re entitled to your opinion as to what was going to happen. The loads likely would have gone to almost zero or been sold at such a steep discount it wouldn’t make sense to fly the route. Just look at the domestic market. Everyone is going to feel the pain for a long while unfortunately.
