The airlines are absolutely going to get bailed out. What? You think they’re just going to be allowed to fail and then only have 1-2 operational airlines when we emerge from this? Sorry, that’s irrational. They’re going to back stop the airlines with either flat out give aways or interest free loans. I’m sure the legacies would love to see everyone else die on the vine, but that’s not going to fly. Literally.
The current admin has tied its horse to thr notion that things things will come roaring back when this is over. They’re not about to kill off several airlines at the alter of saving a few bucks.
Btw, NKS had 13,000 employees 3 or four years ago when we were 2/3’s of our current size. I’d bet we’re in the 15,000+ employee range.
