No. No. No. No. No. The answer from the American people across the political spectrum to the airline industry's plea for a $50 billion taxpayer-subsidized bailout in the Age of WuFlu must be "Hell, no!" times 50 billion. Why should working-class American citizens being laid off from restaurants, bars, grocery stores, ports, gyms, entry-level service jobs and gig economy contracts rescue one of the beltway swamp's most powerful corporate lobbies

It will get pretty ugly in commercial aviation. My older son is a Captain for Frontier, and a significant cut back in flights happens starting in April. I think Frontier will pull through it because of a healthy balance sheet. Not so sure about the other carriers. I just hope he doesn't get furloughed. Time will tell.
Thanks China.

Bailouts haven't worked in the past. Don't think it will this time either.

The author overlooked nothing. The big boys can take the hit just like the rest of us.

I recognize the poster of this article and this seems like another article to bash Trump.

Don't bail out airlines and don't bail out cruise lines. At least not until you have first bailed out the rest of working America. The truckers need it worse. I hope Donald Trump isn't going to be one of those Take From the Have Nots and Give it to the Haves!!

If the naysayers are so confident in their skills, please run for President. . .

The thing is, airlines provide a service, and do so at a very affordable price. Yes, they pack us in like sardines and charge for absolutely everything nowadays, but personally, I like being able to travel, especially to visit family. Where are we if the airlines go bust? Yes, new companies will form, but when? And will they be any better than the ones we have today? Will their safety records be as good? Don't remove a fence until you know why it's there.

Thank you #8. I am so tired of the Never Trumpers and the naysayers. We have the President of the USA trying to Make America Great Again. I don't know if these people have cushy jobs etc. I do know this that after eight years of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, we had small businesses closing. Some temporary or others completely gone. One of those businesses was the business my husband worked for and was doing really well until Barack Obama opened his mouth. President Trump is very concerned for this country and the people. I so appreciate it.

No government money should go to any person or entity who “screws” American workers. That should be the watchword in these hard times.

FTA: "Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that all these "limited government" Republicans in the House, Senate, Trump cabinet and conservative media were up on stage at the "Conservative" Political Action Conference performing conga-line warnings about the scourge of Bernie Sanders-style interventions in the capitalist marketplace?"
Yeah, and others think the fix to markets is more government intervention/control. It's easy to talk tough when it's not one of your oxen being gored...airlines and passenger transportation, oil, ethanol, dairy, other farm products...add your own to the list.

As I understand it, they would be loans for the big companies, to be paid back with interest. It was done with automakers, who repaid the loans. The money to individuals are a gift.
Keep the money away from ''alternative energy'' scams, the climate change hoax, and other non-critical parasites. Also, do not allow companies to use the money to buy back their own stock!

Before merging with United, a guy named Gordon Bethune was the Continental CEO. He was a down-to-earth guy, having gone through the ranks from mechanic to pilot among other positions. If you were to ask any Continental employee back then, they all referred to him by his first name "... Gordon was on this flight last week ...", etc.
As CEO, Gordon would often characterize the airlines as "...a dysfunctional industry, where you're only as good as your dumbest competitor..."

I do not support crisis socialism or $1T in checks being sent out. In the end, Democrats and Republicans are the same. I did not vote for edicts from DC or the Governor's mansions.
