We cannot permit American and other airlines to use federal assistance, whether labeled a bailout or not, to weather the coronavirus crisis and then return to business as usual. Before providing any loan relief, tax breaks or cash transfers, we must demand that the airlines change how they treat their customers and employees and make basic changes in industry ownership structure.
- Seanambers 7y agoThe irony is that airlines because they are running such a tight rope profitability wise has to make 'extras & service' cost money to be profitable. And the definition of extras is ambiguous to say the least. As an industry they provide an exceptional service, but it's rarely that they as comapnies are profitable over time.
