What point? That if there's going to be government intervention then there should be government subsidies?
The while back we held for almost an hour, very close to diverting to the alternate, going to EWR. Had I bed 30+ aircraft on freq having to hold. Speedbird on down. Finally an AMR guy came on and said he called his wife and found out that Joe Biden was having a fund raiser in New York so the whole airspace shut down. People were diverting left and right. A fundraiser! I wonder how much money the airlines blew because someone wanted to go to a fundraiser.
This is one of the few industries where we live and die by the governments rules. Tomorrow they could say the 737 is unsafe and must be grounded and we'd have no choice.
