I have a good family friend in the LA area whose job was in a startup company and he was making decent money in it. I remember talking to him a couple weeks ago and he complained about how airline employees are lucky to be bailed out for 6 months but it's not fair to the taxpayers because we're all gonna be paying for it. A few days ago, I find out he's leaving LA for San Jose because he got a new job at Apple HQs.

It dawned on me that when I talked to him that day, he had probably already been furloughed or was about to be furloughed from his startup. That's why his comments on the airlines and their bailouts. To answer your question, with how bad this whole situation is getting and how bad it will continue to be, don't expect any sympathy from the public when it comes to airlines and our jobs.
