How does AC's balance sheet look as of March 31? How long will the lockdown go on? How quickly will travel recover? Does AC need a bailout that's going to be highly dilutive to shareholders? Or will the government provide a bailout that doesn't cost shareholders much? Does AC need a bailout at all?

At $18, it could be a steal, or it could be massively overpriced, depending on those factors and more. It's like gambling at the casino to trade anything travel-related at the moment.
