Mostly political blackmail prior to the election. damn if you do, damn if you don't.
Clearly if nothing else happens the coming weeks the airlines are out on a limb and have no idea what is going to happen in our lame duck session. If Biden wins but yet can't do a thing to help the economy between now and Jan (maybe longer if nobody wins the election).
Looks like the airlines are going to have to pick a winner to survive until Jan. Course that is all US carriers and not the Europeans. I really don't see how the US airlines are going to survive between now and Jan with a lame duck session.coming
