Based Calipede here, work for major US airline. Not advocating for socialist bailout. Just saying, good time to fly now; dirt cheap fares, empty airports and cabins, great service. Support our US carriers while ChiCom and Arab carriers are eternally subsidized by local governments. Go somewhere awesome for cheap without the crowds. Fuck this lockdown

Personally I think loans to airlines with stipulations and a mechanism to make sure employees are paid and bridge the gap are acceptable. As long as the taxpayer is paid back I don’t see that as especially problematic.

Some of the travel will be lost but after this blows over there will be pent up demand as well.

Thank you for the support, One! We anticipate a big rebound in demand. And in the meantime keep flying pedes! Only sheep are actually staying indoors
