$28B in profits over what operating expenses? Assuming they could sock all $28B in profit into a rainy day fund... how can you make any reasonable claim about airline responsibility without also addressing their operating expenses? taxes? investments into remaining competitive? While I absolutely don't favor bailouts no matter whether they acted irresponsibly or responsibly... all I can tell from your position is that you think $28B is a big number and so beat 'em up on that without any further consideration.
