Sounds like a great deal to me.
So. The Air Lines went, with their hand out, to the tax payer to cover payroll from 4/1-9/30, then motivated employees to go to the taxpayer to fund their unemployment? Delta just announced that hours will remain at 75%. Joann actually told employees that they could make as much or more on unemployment considering the $600 Trump Bump. Never did they tell these low information employees that many of them may be furloughed come 10/1 and will have already used 8, 12, 24 weeks of their limited unemployment benefit. I don't see this as a good thing; Ed and the gang were disingenuous as hell actually.
