Good deal if its your carrier and saves you from being unemployed - bad if you work for someone else are are any one of the X amount of taxpayers that has to pay for it. Remember this - BOTH sides of government wanted this recent bailout package and its unbelievable how much of a failure it already is. They don't even know what they are fixing or how to do it - they just figure if we through lots of money at the problem it should go away (typical govt. philosophy) rather than fix the underlying problems and also realize where that money is coming from (the taxpayers who need to keep it!)

/end rant.

That said I don't see enough money coming around for the airlines. Banking and auto industries will come first - airlines last.
