Don't know what you mean by a dividend not based on profits. Their debt service + dividend are less than half of combined free cash flow. They are not borrowing money to pay dividends, but take it out of free cash flow.

If you believe they should suspend payments while they carry debt, perhaps they could suspend payments to employees and suppliers as well.
