I also agree that it's not really the role of the government to bail out corporations. I guess we'll see what happens, though.
I'm not a fan of government intervention either but it's plain and obvious if these two go down the flying public is SCREWED! The better solution would have been the government stepping in decades ago and preventing this airline cartel we have. The comments by Kirby are chilling as hell, if he got his way we might as well go back to overpriced regulated flying.
