In fact they're interested in carbon emissions restrictions which would probably hurt the airlines. Now is not the time to worry about that.

Politico. Jake Sherman said that Pelosi ended the house session after 2 minutes.
I also doubt in the house that with a Democrat majority it would be an issue. There's 232 Democrat seats and 197 Republican seats. Vox, with a V, this morning was projecting that the Democrats would pass it today unanimously, in the interest of the people. Unfortunately that is not happening.
The Senate struck a deal in the middle of the night, so I'm not sure how 4 senators are somehow holding it up in the house. It's moved on from the Senate.

Point is that Americans are desperate and need relief. This ain't the time to play politics.
