Why is/wasn't there a bail-in?

If there aren't enough funds to loan in the banks, then they must prioritize (or wait for the funny-money getting QE-d). We are indeed in a very bad situation.

I'd feel sorry (not sad, have enough important thing to worry about) to see E/J go, but make no mistake, if there was a market and demand, the "next day" there will be another privately owned airline to replace it. They are going to employ staff, pay taxes, the whole 9 yards.
With T&Cs that would make today’s bottom feeders looking like amazing old legacy carrier contracts.
