APA Is Asking Everyone To Do This Now
 

Your Union's Government Affairs Committee is asking everyone to do this now. Your letter will make a difference.

The House bailout proposal will provide airlines $37 billion in payroll grants and $21 billion in loans. It will also restrict buybacks, dividends, and CEO salaries.

This is the key to no furloughs.

Cash Grant!? How about a loan that the airlines have to pay back when times are good? No stock buybacks, heavily restricted compensation packages for management...lift the restrictions when the loans are re-payed. Free money is a bit ridiculous, we aren't Etihad, Emirates, Qatar, etc. If we start giving out grants lets give it to Southwest since they seem to know how to not go bankrupt.

Hearing that the bill only protects labor who where on property as of 1 March 2020. As a member of the 17 March class, I think I can legitimately ask, "Has the union not demanded that all on property be protected?

Because the majority of carriers would be bankrupt and go out of business. The ones still around would all charge thousands of dollars for every ticket just to try to recoup their costs over the next several years. The lenders and manufacturers that were invested in the airlines that failed would also be hit hard, likely causing many to fail. Hundreds of thousands of people would be unemployed. It would eventually be rebuilt, but it would take a decade..

Or...give them some tax money now, they stay in business, and the additional tax revenue generated by the businesses will repay the "grant" in a couple years without the detrimental effect on the economy.

Hopefully the exact date won't matter and it will be anyone that is on the property. I know this is a stressful time for you and your classmates, wish you all the best.

Hope it's not a strategy.

It's the only strategy at the moment, unless you figure resigning from the largest airline in the world and going somewhere else in a pretty uncertain time is a better one.

I'm about 900 from the bottom here. I'm hoping I keep my job. If I don't I'll have to start over somewhere else then.
