America West Offer Stock to Govt.
News stories yesterday in US have America West offering 10% stake in the company to the U.S. government in return for financial assistance from the fund appropriated for airline aid due to impact (no pun intended) of 9/11.
Question: should the U.S. gov. take an equity stake in America West (or any airline) in return for financial assistance? Discuss. Examples. Extra points for graphs.
