16 Repub Senators join Dems in CARES ext
This is looking pretty good, there are more than enough Republican Senators that have joined with the Dems to extent the ban on involuntary furloughs thru March 30th, 2021. It's other factors that are holding up the overall bill right now. In the link below there's an interview with the President of ALPA and near the end a short blurb from SWA CEO:

Not exactly true. Republicans did not want to extend the $600 per week for UI. So to say it was a "clean extension" is not true.
