Agree. Airlines are paid to fly airplanes. That is the whole point of the business. These cities need service for the essential workers who are traveling. Why would the government bail the airlines out to have them say "thanks for the cash" and then park the whole fleet. Some pilots are thinking selfishly. They are playing management puppets to hopefully keep from getting furloughed. Have some morals even in hard times.
