I also have yet to hear why we would want to save these companies in the first place. I guess the money is flowing into banks' coffers, paying off airplanes? Or are there other costs they're currently making? What is free money going to do for the airline, pay employees that have no work to do anyway? Wouldn't it be more efficient to give them the money? I don't care if Lufthansa goes bankrupt and someone else buys their planes for pennies on the dollar, gives them an inspection after covid-19, and life continues as usual. How are these 10e9 spent other than throwing it into a black hole? There's probably more to it than I know, but I have yet to hear the reason we're keeping those businesses alive.
