Huge difference mate, car industry didn't make money, QF does and as of now has the ability to survive this crisis unaided, something very few airlines around the world can claim.
It seems that in your altruistic world sending QF and their decently paid 30,000 workforce down the tube would unleash the aviation Kraken, bringing in thousands of million of billions of lower paying jobs from exceptional airlines such as Lion or Scoot so that towns such as Coober Pedy can be served by a daily double return B787 service to La Palma International.
