They didn't need to Raid the Treasury and the Taxpayers in the 1st place .. Airlines have been nothing but In and Out of BK for Decades. Why do we need to fund any of this Crap .. But the Better Question is ... WHY were the Bond Holders Forced to Subordinate ????????

"think it's terribly unfair that many people have come to expect a government bail-out as their birthright. This welfare mentality needs to stop." I saw this quote here before and it still fits the bill after a few thousand years or so. "The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt, the mobs should be forced to work and not depend on government for subsistence." Marcus T Cicero It always amazes me that time can't erase the power of what great words and common sense can mean. For some more quotable quotes from Cicero worthy of some serious pondering; answers.com dealmakr
