Would you consider that unusual circumstances given that they have a history of boom/bust? Yes, well, I'm still waiting on that first airline boom.

9/11 makes it somewhat unusual, but airlines losing money isn't unusual by itself. If an airline is unsafe I have no problem with the government shutting it down, I want government involvement (or at least involvement beyond laying out the basic regulations that the company will operate under) to be unusual or rare but I am not totally rigid on this. I just think the general rule should be for the government to stay out and to need strong justification to get involved when it wants to do so. Tim
