Helping the little guy has rarely been bad politics.
Don't forget, U.S. commercial aviation is the least free market, most regulated industry in this country. Government involvement isn't uncommon.

ok, I get it but they “bring down fares” because they keep selling tickets at a loss. Not really a good comparison. Selling tickets at a loss is not a business, it’s a charity.

$475 DIP financing due to be paid back July 14th.

Cash on hand 2/28 $560 million and shrinking.

83 days until liquidation. Start the countdown.

I would imagine the cash on hand today is less than the DIP payment due in July.

wow … tell us how you really feel. If that happens, do you throw a celebration? I’m trying to understand why you would want this?

The business model was wildly successful pre-NEOs and pre-Covid and pre-Ted.
