I am guessing since the airlines have taken so much government bail out money over the years, they will bend the knee quite easily.
My Grandfather was a pilot for United for many years. It was a great paying job and flying was in his blood. Did it from right after WWII/Berlin Airlift until he retired. Not sure what he might say about it these days.
I share his love of flight and aircraft but I would need a really, really good reason to fly commercial these days. Just not worth it IMHO. The idea of sitting in the car and puttering along the road feels much better. No one in my business and I am not being treated like cattle.
It's a shame really. Looking at all the old pictures of air travel in the past is pretty amazing. Who wouldn't want to do it?
