That’s the purpose of the grant money. Essential (free of charge) way to have airline employees paid and taken care of for, at least, 6 months. It’s not on the company to pay for it, but the grant money. TC mentioned grants and loans in his email. I don’t think he would have mentioned it if they thought they wouldn’t see what they could get. Time will tell.
If you follow China it was a 120 day event or so. We are closing in on a month now. Your right who knows when it actually ends, but at least pilots and crew can be taken care of with this grant for the next half a year.
I suspect by mid to late summer things will
be moving forward again. Not saying it will be back to the same level as before this started, but it’s certainly going to be more than flying 25% of our schedule.
