This money would have only gone to shareholders, because the executives only wanted it to go to shareholders to increase the value of the executives' stock based compensation. It's a way of saying, "management doesn't care about you proles" that assumes you are too ignorant to understand.
If Delta Air Lines had a $20B cash reserve, we would still furlough 2,500 pilots on October 1st, because management does not care about any of us. They only care about turning red boxes green on the excel spreadsheet.
