Come on guys. You have to be kidding me to think that government could help the airlines. Look at Allitalia and the roller coaster that airline is to the country. That airline does not make money, it cannot make money but the government carries it along. Just what we need in the US. If you folks out there want a socialist nation than move to France and see your job move to another EU country that does it better. Move to Sweden and give the government 55% of your check to support the 150,000 imigrents that give nothing to the system but love to take. I have family in Sweden, this is not second hand info.
