This right here. I’m just hoping there are no bailouts for any airlines. Especially the legacy carriers. They have had 20 years since their last bailout to get sorted. No more. I’m tired of supporting people on welfare indefinitely. I’m tired of supporting airlines while they record record profits and give jobs to those less qualified because the candidate is an aviation minority (non white male or female.). At my last job (Skywest) I flew with awesome white guys at 30 years old with 5k pic in 121, degree no black marks, and all that. Nothing. Crickets. But Manuella Ramirez who just got off IOE and has 1600 hours, HIRED! I’m Latino but only applied at one of the legacies because I don’t want to work anywhere else. I left my regional because I didn’t want to commute, thus I’m getting a confirmed ticket at my ACMI. Life is a zillion times better. Rant over.
Did I get that right?

Also, I think the airlines need to be bailed out, but with a lot of strings attached. Keep in mind the airline bailout in 2001 was $15B and the one being proposed today is $50B. If that money goes to keeping pilots, FAs, gate agents, mechanics, operations, etc employed through this tough time, then it's totally worth it. But without proper oversight, they'll just fire/furlough everyone to maximize profit, and because this is such a competitive industry, any airlines that "do the right thing" will lose market share and suffer consequences. Capitalism is great, but without the government to make fair rules and properly referee the game, companies HAVE to do cut-throat stuff to survive.
