Exactly. Something is literally not adding up here. Where is all the money??

coco1124 ... See that yacht over there? Next month they'll be two.

Well middle class taxpayer money is being used to fund these airlines exec’s multi million dollar homes n multiple luxury cars .. while we the middle class peasants r struggling to pay next month’s bills

mona t ....Your response is uplifting. I thought the middle class was long gone. 🍻

They have been making billions for more than 50 years straight non-stop ...Wtf are they crying about???

Or give the airline's the WHO money? That would help

@@patriciaburch6471 who is basically owned by China totally agree

@@cursim they're telling us that billion dollar companies can't go a month without profiting off of us it's a joke

Are you a socialist😂 thats not how capitalism works

Yea it's crazy bro

Waldo Mcfly Seems like you confused this for a trump rally...so, instead of being a keyboard warrior, take your racist comments out in the streets where you’ll find real consequences ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Benyosef I’m an engineer actually...so yes, I’m a bit educated and intelligent...nice try bud 🤓

Benyosef You mentioned four (4) fields pendejo (stupid)...it looks you have a PhD in being an ignorant PoS...LoL, again, nice try 😂

@Waldo Mcfly All your comments are so disjointed and lack any critical thinking. I mean how could you compare a sport that has not filed bankruptcy nor has ever needed a bail out to an industry that is facing hardship and requesting a bail out. You then try to align democrats giving knee jerk reactions to big business and not wanting to bailout necessary businesses but fail to remember that Democrats bailed out plenty of businesses when the financial crisis hit. I can't figure out if you're stupid or a troll.

Such prices are prob in the low cost airplanes though who make profit that way. Even even if you spend that money it's going to be cheaper than other airlines usually

Yeah but the stupid government bails those greedy ceos out every time. Why didn’t the ceos save any of the tax evaded money for all these years?

Only scoot airlines would charge that price

Bring your own food then, it’s cheaper.

Samwich

@Mansur Zaman What, you’re offended?

Because they don't care, as long as the service is equally bad everywhere, no need need for improvement

Mv Tran right. The gate agents and flight attendants can be downright rude and nasty for no reason at all.

This is a excellent idea, greedy people

😂😂😂😂

you understand this was all planned to get rid of small businesses right and enrich these massive corporations among other things like creating i don't know... creating a massive underclass of dependent slaves who get monthly handouts from the government. etc, etc.

Neither you nor the airline industry should get even a dime. Most Americans are not wealthy capitalists who own businesses and it's the American people that should get a bailout first, the 1200$ was not nearly enough

Agreed

Wes S this is why Bernie Sanders was totally right all along but he was shut down. We are seeing how right this man was

Pinhead Larry ???? Being a small business owner doesn’t mean you are wealthy

Agreed and shed those prices down.. smh

The planes are cleaner than they have ever been.

Mike Schiavoni bs. You must be one of the dirty ones if you think those planes are “clean”..... wow. LOL

@@jeffreyjewell75 no genius, i know some flight attendants and the planes are literally cleaner than they have ever been. Apparently they are taking off panels and deep cleaning the planes.

@@mikeschiavoni5973 I work in a disinfection company. They are not clean. Also we lose a contract with the Mexican Airforce because they want to pay the less possible for disinfecting their airplanes ( we were 14 people disinfecting manually each inch of the plane used to repatriate people from Italy, Spain, etc). I hear Aeromexico ( the most expensive Mexican airline) it is paying only 200 dollars for a plain getting disinfected, we have evidence of the very low quality of the job done for the cleaning company They don't care for their clients at all. They care only about the money.

oof

Glad you commented. I can't believe he fixed his month to say that.

i think i heard over some news channel that one big airlines is facing class action lawsuit for non refunds when many in middle class are struggling to pay next month's bills .

i would say consult an attorney....my friend who is an attorney said he n his colleagues are getting lot of inquiries for consultation over non refunds n from some airlines employees /contractors laid off or furloughed. It seems more lawsuits will follow.....In the past, I too got a cheque on behalf of a big n famous Fortune 500 company, against whom a lawsuit was filed n that big company despite high profile attorneys lost that case, hence that big Fortune 500 company was heavily fined n had to give cheque of pretty good amount to many besides other heavy fines, as per the lawsuit..I was one of the recipients of that cheque from that lawsuit !

Listen, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A CASH REFUND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION

Airlines don't like to give refunds. They attract you with cheap fares for you to fly and they are non refundable. Put that on e credit so u can travel next year. I tried canceling a flight with AA and they wanted me to pay a fee to change or cancel my flight, with no refunds. Bullshit yet they getting bailouts

True 👍👍

This will happen when the end of earth comes .

James well said! Now to cut Congress fancy pay checks to give to the rest of us not working.

James No US airline CEO’s are billionaires. They don’t own the airline. These stock buybacks planned by the revenue management team is a big problem though. The airline industry is different when it comes to its operations. A lot of CEO’s such as Ed Bastian took a full pay cut for at least six months. Also Southwest and Delta Air Lines have given back billions of dollars to their employees over the last five or so years although they did not save up enough money for a crisis like this. It’s like they are too big to fail, but that doesn’t only have to do with the CEO salary.

Gary kelly already cut his salary a percentage for the interest of the company

In the UK Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic springs to mind.

🗽🇺🇸 U.S. CONGRESS let's them get away with it; they should be the ones caring about us❗❗❗❗❗❗🗽🇺🇸

Well if the airlines did that they wouldnt make any $$

Exactly right!

G 4orce they would still make plenty of money

And airlines would have to ask whether the risk of people contracting a sickness due to very close proximity to other people is worth it. People getting sick on a particular airline means bad publicity, which would in turn also mean lower ticket sales for that airline.

Unfortunately I think they see it as a potential investment to waste resources because 50 billion free dollars from u.s. government. instead of cutting back flights and saving some fuel.

Are you under the mindset that a virus that has impacted the world in more ways than one came to be because karma had it out for the airline industry?

@Magnolia Trees in the Meadow I'm calm bro, thanks for checking in.

@@williebeamish5879 it will come from the ppl who ride the planes lmao

@@howtodoconstruction9813 exactly!

Prithpal Matharu too important for our economy even trump admitted. Boeing will be bailed out and who buys planes oh yea airlines. Its just the way it works just like when the banks where bailed out in 08 and GM

i bought again tickets to get out asap just to be left at airport now they don't want to give back our money ...my holiday has cost me a fortune , they will take the bail out money and if they don't give us back the money, how a global Class Action sound?

Well I dunno a thousand or more flight tickets will be enough to pay salary for the crew for a month. Plus the longer this goes on with flights grounded and paying crews every month I guess many won't survive

Why should airlines lose so much money for something that is not their problem, yes they should give you partial refunds, but they don’t have to give you full refunds.

@@fcdeltaaviation1715 not saying that they shouldn't give money back to customers when they cannot fly. But if an airline has their entire fleet grounded they won't make money but at the end of the day they have to pay their employees, maintenance and airports charge huge amounts for parking. So smaller airline companies will go bankrupt for sure this time.

@@berahs ok thank you 👍👍😢😢

@@davedon260 ok what's the new strategy 🤔🤔

Food as well water toilet paper pallads of those

Airlines lose their valuable ‘routes’ when they don’t fly due to lack of passengers, airports are also to blame and governments need to enforce and cease this practice

@R S I'm surprised this piece didn't mention low fuel prices. Unless I missed it.

R S paying pilots, flight attendants, ticket agents, gate agents, catering, cleaners, ground crew, and the airport for using the runway, I’m pretty sure they’re losing money.

R S not true they’re paying pilots to stay home and flying nearly empty planes. My neighbor is a pilot first hand info

Peter Solar channel There is a lot that goes into storing planes, in some ways it actually costs more money then to just keep them running

What if your right?

He's also right. I see it

Okay so give up your life then.

@@bradychick6535 riding bicycle is dangerous where I live. I see an adjustment coming soon though (:

Yes Get that JET A out of the Skies . (Poor Petroleum Companies .) are they getting bail outs too?

I was once charged 80 dollars to carry on a keyboard

So $100 for a bag is fair? On top of the $500 to fly? Get out of here with that nonsenses mate. Airports are absurdly overpriced and you know it.

Airlines are all about that $$.. i work one of these airlines... & our tickets aint cheap

jakeman025 WOW!

NonyaBusiness! I hope you and your friends and family stay safe & healthy during these challenging times.

Teame love Im pretty sure some airlines are letting medical workers fly for free

Thank you for this image, you made my morning! :D

no it means that it costs more to run the plane than they’re charging customers

It means the cost is not paid by those few who need to travel right now. So they are spending more than earning.

@@KlausBentes You get it. Most don't. Microeconomics. I still don't like the rip-off airlines though.

God that stuff smells bad.

Everyone is a zombie now. The could have shown a cat dropping a duce.

@@fynkozari9271 not 100 percent. On the flip side of the crooked company there are millions of people who work for the airlines and contractors, airport employees. Lots of poor getting poorer.

Wait until your relatives die. Are you gonna be as happy as you are now ?

@@vintagetriplex3728 It's not as deadly as people say it is.

I don't have a large personal investment portfolio...a few thousand dollars total that took years to build. But I still own Southwest because I believe in their service and business model. I think they'll weather this and come out stronger, but I chose to hold on to that investment when all this started tumbling because they are an ethical company that takes care of it's employees and passengers more than most, doing so at an affordable (and transparent) price point. There are a handful of other companies that do the same. We should always put our money where our mouth is, whether investing or buying from companies we genuinely trust and share our values whenever we possibly can. In that vain, I want like hell to stop using Amazon right now, but there just isn't a viable, ethical competitor, and yes, I'd accept some sacrifices to have that (longer delivery times / higher prices / etc...) for a company that treats it's employees well and is truthful about it's business and it's model.

@@QuicoKoala Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad years of research, study and building personal relationships amount to "gullible" in your eyes. You, on the other hand, must have the ambition and education of a paralyzed squid blind and choking on its own ink since you only see the world through a veil of pessimism and foreboding and are unable to see that these companies are made of people, many of whom are GOOD people, and in some cases the ones actually running the companies. Good luck crawling your way up the evolutionary ladder.

Who are the "we" that created this system? Why would any rational person create a system that screws themselves over? The people responsible for this system are not writing comments on youtube but are benefiting greatly from this "system."

The American cowboy does his part. Agree with you.

The same people that had to pay for their extra bags will not have to help save the airline. Good thing they didn’t save all that share buyback money for a rainy day hug

$30 per bag is a lot of money.

@DrumKnot, what about the hundreds of thousands of employees that work for these companies? Does your heart feel anything about their jobs disappearing when these companies go belly up?

@@yd756 Sure I care, theres verying degrees of course but, their situation isn't much different than anyone elses. Besides pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants, the rest of airline jobs aren't that great. But then again, this is also really not good for Boeing either. Maybe companies should have been managing profits better, the corporate trend of stock buybacks combined with low tax liabilities are going to leave us all busted.

Damm crows

True

It’d be included in the ticket price

oof

Don't forget all of the companies and services other than the airlines inside the airports. We have all been furloughed and laid off too!!

Why they treat customers like crap

Yap.

Really?

Reformed1 Why shouldn’t she be touching her face? In fact I’m massaging my face right now. So how about that? 😄😄😄

People do not want to take the recommended precautions- this is why the virus is spreading.

Agree. Imported by plane. Made in China

Joe Gac i agree, but about their employees?

Ted Zane Let new management employ them after ownership changes hands in chapter 11. Not like the planes and pilots will vanish if they go bankrupt.

Yep, creditors take over the company. The people who screwed it up at fired. Chapter 11 is a good thing.

they have those masks that drop from the ceiling that the flight attendants always teach the passengers how to use

@I AM Starr your rights to cough up infectious disease stop at my lungs. There are terms and conditions to everything we do in life. Just like you're forced to stop at a red light

@John Sabp do a little more research. The correct mask, Warren appropriately, and used appropriately is very effective, most people don't have the discipline to wear them correctly though

Some people are still working. I'm on a ship right now wondering when I will fly back home when my job is done.

Just like buses, cabs and trains are still taking people to work...airplanes do the same thing. Its a means of transportation.

stay home then.!

Include oxygen while in the air all cooped up with sick people.

They should be nationized if they want our money.

B B well fuel is super cheap right now

should be used to burn all those planes sitting around. at least it would be somethinginteresting we could all watch as we're stuck at home.

Yeah and so my familly can have a roof to sleep under

Richard Monroe none of this makes sense. Every business needs a bailout at this point.

Both of you made great points.

HeyMJ It’s not going to matter in the long term if a pilot’s record has an empty spot in a pandemic. You may get a little rusty, but a year isn’t long enough to completely forget those kinds of skills. You could say that some generic office worker is essential because they are required to keep clocking in & retain highly specialized knowledge of the beautiful desk they sit at. These airlines need to be shut down completely.

"I haven't always slept well at night realizing my immense carbon footprint"...LOL,best laugh of the day.

Milo Rodriguez nice joke 👍
