If the all Airline CEOs would band together and tell the Feds to shove it, there would be no restrictions.
If the airline controllers would tell the Feds to shove it, that would be it. No air traffic controllers, no air traffic aside from small private planes using visual flight only.
Do you really think a paying customer will spend his hard earned cash to be treated like a piece of cattle to get "safely and quickly" from A to B?
Still too many do and the government might bail them out for a while. Let's see for how long.....
Did they pay you for not being able to go to work, or if not, why do you still consider working for them?
While I'd LOVE to see that (or, anyone tell Biden to shove it for any reason), realistically not all airlines would do that. But still--even if they did tell the feds to shove it... they simply turn around and issue us HUGE fines.
That brings me to my second point. Airlines have taken money from the government (including mine)--but that's in no way a "bailout." It's a pittance that the federal government has given us for operating at a huge loss daily, as they require us to. All while the government (federal, and many state / local governments as well) has gone out of their way to do everything they can to scare our customers off. Special thanks to the MSM for that, also.
Any company, of any sort--an airline or otherwise--that treat their customers like cattle should go out of business. I'm proud of my company for our great attempts to not do this. I've personally heard our flight attendants complain about not being able to go around the cabin and interact with customers because their job has become a lot more boring. They miss the interaction.
And yes, I'm still working, but remotely. My employer has been great and very flexible with me--and as of now I have ZERO complaints about my company and our executive team. They are amazing. My job is VERY hard to do remotely, and I desperately want (and need) to go back to work in person.
The local government here (i.e. - local government) has been notably bad with their COVID BS and I think a lot of the remote work that we've done has been us picking our battles (wisely, in my opinion) to minimize our losses.
