Just a reminder that during the pandemic these companies were given money to stay afloat and they immediately laid off the staff and have - apparently - neglected all meaningful maintenance.
And flew empty jets around the world. Polluting shit for absolutely no reason. Those companies can all go bankrupt and burn in a fire for all I care. People have become way too dependent on them anyway.
TBF the “flying empty trains around the world” were different companies that only bought the planes and had to adhere to stupid laws that would void their plane spots if they didn’t take off.
That’s like making Toyota responsible if a Toyota fanclub decides that you need to make 100k kilometers a year to stay in the club
Both are horrible but in this case it’s not useful to throw both in the same basket

Don’t forget the stock buybacks
Airlines were actually banned from stock buybacks during the pandemic as a condition of the federal aid.
No shit. Impressive that someone thought of that.
Really, who, specifically, do we have to that for that?
