Rationally, I think that governments should be ok with that as they will pay either way through unemployment or these rescue packages (at least with some industries where no critical supply chains are ripped out), but there would be enormous political pressure to stem job losses.

The 3rd option is to take money from the investors. The example given in this thread, Lufthansa, the stock holders should have been wiped out. It is called risk.
