It doesn’t matter, how many bailouts the airlines get. If they are not constantly flying at capacity, every single one will go bankrupt. Not in years, or decades, but very, very quickly. The big three are especially susceptible. Those wide-body, long distance jets are extraordinarily expensive to operate. If they are not both in the air, and close to max capacity, they are a perpetual money pit. You (we) need to get everyone to commit to not flying. We need to organize large amounts of people to get onto their social media, and let them know that you aren’t flying. Make dozens of Twitter accounts, then have your friends make dozens of accounts. Flood their pages with complaints. Hell, use photos of black, Asian, and trans people, as your avatars. Put them between a rock and a hard place. It is imminently within our power to bankrupt at least one of these airlines.

For my older pedes - Did you ever think that you’d see a day, without a PanAm plane, in the sky? What about TWA? It happens.

My great uncle worked in aerospace and he said this "not a single aerospace company has ever turned an honest profit, not once" all the secret govt contracts subsidize the absolute ass ramming the civilian plane market inflicts on those involved with it.

Companies like southwest united and AA are profitable until they aren't, then they're just sucked up by the next waiting entity with pockets fat from government loans and tax breaks. We keep paying for these dipshits to run themselves into the ground so we can bail them out with our money once again, whether we know it or not.
