Let the stockholders take the first hit! Owning stocks is not and should not be guaranteed by the taxpayers. Help the employees laid off but not the executives.

Really shouldn’t have skipped leg day 1:35

SO SAD, but let's face it, when Humans have it So Good like the Airline industry did for So looong, they Abuse their Luck, look at the Airline industry, look at the way they were treating passengers, like Sardines, like Animals, and disrespecting their passengers. Airlines had Control of the Transportation industry and they knew it, and it went to their greedy heads. They were overcharging for Tickets, Stopped providing Customer Service, were treating people like Garbage, the Same People that were FEEDING them.

Senoir counter agents make $33.00 an hour! Thats more than a GM at mcdonalds. As a primary source i even seen supervisors purposely write awful schedules to guarantee the staff has opportunity for overtime. Our money should not go to pay a counter agent at american airlines $50 an hour to stand there and be rude to the public. Who cares if 75, 000 airline employees lose their jobs there 14million american who have already been living through the pandemic without jobs. The airlines is the entire reason the pandemic has spread as fast as it did. Do not use our money to pay the senior flight attendants $99.00 annhour because they dont want to retire and the union protects their ridiculous salary. The entire airline can rehire and train new employees at a standard rate of $15.00 an hour. The payroll system is and the airlines are desriend to failnwithbor without bail.

If you’re gonna buy an airline get an etf, or if you really have to get an individual company look at their financial statements

[djcuriosity]

No more flying over neighbor hoods and crashing
Noise reduction, no pollution no superspreaders with covid19..

[chadmarkz]

Airlines shouldn't get one cent of taxpayers money.

[quantumstories]

The Airline industry became overly Greedy and No matter how much Money they Got from their Passengers, they found ways to take more, they were abusing their passengers in So many way; always getting more Money, charging for everything!!! They were in control of the situation, and passengers were treated like animals. There were only like One or Two Airlines that were Considerate to their Passengers, but the other 90% or more were terrible to those who were Feeding them. It's just for those Good Flight Attendants who Worked So hard, I feel bad for them, they need their jobs too. Nobody is winning now.

I don't know why they didn't show Xpresstest working with the airline. For covid testing.

McConnell maybe working for Democrats behinds closed doors.

I hope the country can make it through this until Trump is no longer in office so why do you look at February and hopefully they come to get stabilized again really praying for the US and for the people around the world that is in contact with this lunatic that's pretty lately

[quantumentanglement]

How are the rude people at the counters and the impatient, prone to fighting cabin crews doing? Don't feel sorry to them. Of course, not all of them are bad. Welp...

[endrefidje]

Good to see a reporter who tries to report the news with a non-biased view. Keep it up! So much better than the slime balls over on Fox News ... ;-)

[mindmybusynass.m]

Ironically even the 737 max may relax blaming all on the COVID19.



True or False?
