He can tweet what he wants, and claim we have money to do it, but he is akin to that rich jet owner telling his buddies lets go to Aspen tonight ! Sure, we can leave now. However upon talking to the pilots, NOTAMS exist and night ops are prohibited at the airport, and, well, no, we really can't go tonight.
my 2 cents
Good Luck to everyone. when the PSP money transfer from Treasury over to the airline's bank account happens, then I will believe it happened.

As to your POINT, I agree.

It was a pretty clear tweet to me with no translation needed. There is unused money in the cares 1 bucket that I want to use for PSP and airline support but I need the house (the Democrats since they are in the majority) to pass some legislation for it to be used for those purposes and I will sign it immediately.
Fairly straight forward request that the House has chosen to ignore.

Another $100 in your pocket now might seem beneficial but if you kill any long term competitiveness and survival you have killed the Golden Goose.

I seriously don’t think that come spring 2021, traffic is going to increase by a significant amount to eliminate the need for furloughs.
The airlines have furloughed for long term survival, keeping on thinking that travel is going to surge next year is “fantasy”. Everyone is holding their breath on the vaccine, when it comes out, people will start questioning its effectivity as well as long term side effects.... and we will be back to anemic traffic growth.
