I can imagine that another bailout is definitely on the horizon for some of the big six probably after the end of gulf war 2, especially since many of our american friends will be too s**t scared to fly the pond and other international routes as usual leading to even more losses.
So the inefficient US carriers end up getitng more good money thrown at them and our profitable european airlines BA, LH etc get another shafting along with laid off european pilots/groundstaff.
Oh and the flightdeck of these ineffieient US majors get to keep their outrageous saleries with minimal cuts!
