A tax-payer funded bailout is a dangerous precedent. Then any LCC carrier with bad management will claim victim status and ask for a bailout.
And if the government blocks a buyout that may have saved them claiming that said airline is too important to get swallowed up, that airline would have a legitimate claim. The government blocking the transaction then watching that company fail is a dangerous precedent. Had the government not intervened, and then the company failed, they wouldn’t have a case…but that’s not what happened. You want to pretend that the government had nothing to do with this. They did. Keep pretending…nobody with more than a few brain cells or any memory whatsoever is fooled.
