The bailout gives them breathing space that’s all
That’s a pretty expensive way to take one’s time figuring out what to do. I bet wartime generals wish they had nine months to figure it all out too, but they don’t, never have, never will. Good leadership involves making good decisions IN A TIMELY fashion, not simply taking your sweet time. The pilot contracts have provision for redundancies, either use it or get off the pot. If CX doesn’t like LIFO, then they should never have put it into the contracts.
