After Blowing $4.5 Trillion on Share Buybacks, Airlines, Boeing et al Want Taxpayer & Fed Bailouts

[that guy]

How do they need a bailout when they have had record profits for like 10 years straight packing people into planes like sardines

 

[DEAD7]

So you mean nationalizing the industry making them make a profit and giving that money back to the gov't is not helpful to the people?

Because you know, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid aren't helping people at all.

The american government has no business managing airlines
Dont know how anyone looks at washington and thinks we will produce what singapore is, or better.

Throwing them in the bushes just to spite the ceo or whoever might not be the play.

So let the American airline industry die and be replaced by foreign airline industries? Amirite?

I have no idea if it's fake news since you haven't provided a link for the rest of us to read.

KLM is private and goat status

We've already nationalized the airport. Let's finish the deed.
