But my understanding is that during a bankruptcy, if it were to happen, we could very well have things forced down our throats that we don't agree to.
BK in itself is VERY EXPENSIVE, $100's of millions down the rathole of lawyers fees and other costs that do nothing to help the operation, or pay employees more. It lasts a long time and costs so much that the company has no choice but to go for the jugular so that they can get new financing to rebuild the airline at a new improved cost structure. |

Thousands of companies and millions of employees would be adversely affected if we all went out of business. Again, it doesn't matter what we think. No one cares that we think. The airlines are the size that they are because the vast majority of people want to fly, not because they really need to. Businesses prefer a face to face meeting and a handshake, but the same meeting could be held with a teleconference. People enjoy vacation travel, but there really isn’t a need to go sit on a beach in the Caribbean. Most of us are employed because the public prefers to buy our services, not because the world will stop spinning if global aviation gets cut in half. This is hitting the travel industry hard. It is also hitting other industries hard. Should bailouts go to concert halls, restaurants, convention centers, etc, as well? Where would it stop? Demand will return at some point. The market will direct the industry how to react to what ever the new normal is. |

Big daddy gov is gonna print money and give them all $1000, and they'll get unemployment if they get laid off. So don't act like they aren't getting something. The world will have to cook for 2 weeks, OMG!!! Worst case scenario, you can eat all the toilet paper you hoarded.

rd. This is true under normal events but this is different, there’s no passengers that need the service. I say shut it down temporarily instead of flying empty planes around costing tax payers 50 billion. Even if there is a bailout get ready to fly for min wage. |
