Thats a very obtuse way of looking at it. What about the bigger picture of 10s of thousands of people not being able to pay their mortgages or pay the billions in tax a year to hmrc.

you could say we don't really need to eat or drink out or take the kids to the cinema as well as not go on holiday. Where would it stop?

The fact is the government is going to have to help out countless industries not just aviation. Injecting billions now will save billions in welfare payments and mean billions in tax revenue will come flowing back once this is over.
