That is not the issue here. The banks don’t have access to enough funds to bridge all these companies (not only in aviation) through a crises of this magnitude and the issue will only get worse the deeper in to this crises we get.

Take easyJet for example, never made a loss and owns 70% of their fleet. Why not provide loans secured against assets in the company and save jobs?
