We are very lucky to be crews in America. ALL across the world, crews have already been furloughed anywhere from 30-100%. Virgin Australia struggled and asked the Australian government for help. They were told to pound sand so off they went into receivership. Look at furloughs across the world, they are staggering. We are lucky we won't see that until Oct 1st.
Meh, using the government to build your airline is one thing, keeping critical infrastructure (ie freight moving) afloat during a crisis is another.
I can see your argument as it relates to NK, F9, Jblu, Sun C, Alligent though. Not sure why we all benefitted, but I'm very thankful.
Seems like apples and oranges, mostly.
