No, the real question is why do you feel entitled to a paycheck funded by the taxpayers when there is no public demand for your companies services.
Sounds to me like you have a lot of airline workers that want a paycheck to sit on their ass at someone else's expense (nothing new for the TWU membership I assure you). You act like no other workers in other industries are facing the prospect of job loss and should support YOU even though you make far more than the median income for a HOUSEHOLD (The U.S. median household income was $68,703 in 2019). Bonus if your spouse works. Do what everyone else does, get another job until times improve and demand picks back up. It's not the general public's fault that your average airline worker is so stupid he buries himself in debt and obligation. I have seen that **** show too many times. You have some idiot mechanic go buy fine homes, cars, and boats, then he loses his job and goes into a panic because he knows without his lucrative airline job he is facing bankruptcy.
Now we have a situation where grown ass people, who make FAR more than the average American worker, are holding their hand out wanting someone else to support their stupid financial decisions.
Pathetic.
Where the fuk did you get all that??
Never once have I ever said or felt entitled to anything. What most morons fail to see is the savings of jobs, American workers keeping their jobs, staying afloat, and still providing for their families. No one said anything about receiving a check to sit on their arses either. It is in fact a means for employees to continue going into work and "EARNING" their wages as they normally do and have been.
Another issue this relief prevents is for Southwest not to furlough or layoff for it's first time in history.
Also another point is, this is NOT just for airlines, it's for the transportation industry, rail, busses, as well as small businesses to also remain open and in business.
I don't need to go out and find another job, I can get by just fine with what I earn because I have no house payment, car payments, credit card debt, or any other debt than my routine monthly utility bills. Not all mechanics live as you suggest, matter fact most are living way within their means.
Most Americans live to the means that they have available no matter how much they earn. And for you to talk down a to people who were successful in getting the education and experience to earn six figure income plus speaks volumes.
No, what we have is hard working Americans trying to keep their businesses open so by helping with relief bill will help slow and stop job losses, unemployment, suicides, depression, mental illness, etc... You really do need to quit thinking it's all about "just" wanting money.
