The airline industry says jobs are being held hostage while House and Senate leaders bicker over the terms of a new aid package., a dozen industry trade groups and unions said they all agree that a stand-alone deal is necessary and urged the majority and minority leaders of both legislative bodies to reconcile their differences as soon as possible.
"There continues to be strong, broad, and bipartisan willingness to protect jobs and livelihoods in the airline industry by extending the successful Payroll Support Program , which was part of the CARES Act," read the letter, which was signed by Airlines for America, which represents the carriers, and unions representing pilots, flight attendants and other front-line workers.
Time is running out: The House adjourned last week without passing a comprehensive new stimulus bill, and the"Both the Senate and the House have introduced bills that would protect airline jobs and air service through an extension of the PSP. Overwhelming majorities in both chambers support doing so," the letter continued."Notably, leadership in both chambers have already taken steps to advance the legislation.
They are being held hostage!
Pelosi is trying to sneak in billions for failing liberal cities.
guess we are a socialist country, always bailing out private businesses. What happed to capitalist ideas Guess capitalist ideas only applied to the working folks, lets them sink
No shit?!? Vote Biden/Harris and Blue down the ballot
not government role to bail you out. shoulda saved your money. file chapter 13.
Trump pulled his negotiators out. Why are they blaming House Dems?
We’re all sick Congress and their bullshit.
Let them sell some of the stock they bought back with their big tax cut.
Blame SpeakerPelosi for this crap
Airlines have been hoping to bribe the government into giving them more money and throwing the working class under the bus to get it. Where are the billions they made in all those absurd fees all these years? Didn't they save anything for a rain day, like we're always told?
The airline I worked for got MILLIONS from the last stimulus package. Some of us were laid off the day after the date by which they could let go of us ...and STILL keep the $$.
Airline executives shud have put some money away for a rainy day! They were given billions of $ in tax reductions. Instead of strengthening capitalization; did stock buy-backs from Trump’s give away tax cuts to the 1%. Relief $ need to go directly to individuals and small biz.
Trump is a divisive man who does not see all Americans as Americans. He never became the president of all Americans. All cities need help and Trump is refusing to help because he wants to hurt everybody who did not vote for him.
Airline industry took bailout money already this year. Then they took massive tRump Corp Tax Cuts and handed cash out to Stock Holders and bought back stocks.. Airline industry is a rich guys toy who broke the unions years ago! I say NO MORE TAX PAYER MONEY FOR AIRLINES!
Sometimes you just have call it what it is! Superfly Supremacy!
Trump said he ain't signing nothing
they bought back stock, too bad, greedy hypocrites
Yeah, I'm digging deep trying to feel sorry for them. I got nothing
Actual airline workers are standing in solidarity with the rest of the working class. If they pass a standalone airline bailout there will be no stimulus or unemployment for millions of starving Americans facing eviction. Trump dug his grave, fix it or lose election
Yes, the airline industry is hurting. What about the parents who can't feed their children or pay their rent?
Sounds like the airline industry is holding jobs hostage to get some of that sweet sweet taxpayer money
Why should America keep bailing out the airlines. Let the free market decide your fate.
LALATE
Tell them no aid is coming
I don't really care do u? It is what it is. Stimulus for working people! No more bailouts for corporations and billionaires.
MAGA and GOP are the biggest threat to this country.. plotting to kidnap governors and shit
