Airlines asking for $50B Bailout. What Say You?

Should we do it? I recall when 9/11 happened, they got the bailout money and followed it up with layoffs.

Not sure about the bailout...but absolutely no bailout without strings attached to prevent the money going to bonuses and executive pay raises.

Most airlines will be bankrupt soon without government bailouts - CNN

If you don't have passengers you do not need pilots and flight attendants. Sure we should save a couple. Just not those bastards at southwest.
