It’s a simple question.
Would you rather accept pennies in pound or a collapsed employer?
It will be a real choice. Already is at Virgin Australia.

Collapsing all the employers in the name of your “ rights” will be a major own goal for society.

Society is playing a dangerous game of pass the parcel.
It’s ok so long as somebody ELSE loses.

People have yet to wake up to the size of the numbers.
Worse than Great Depression

In an equitable world the entire public sector should take a hit, but it won’t. It never does. Private sector has been told to pay for it all.
A large chunk of public sector are furloughed on full pay. So doing nothing of value.

If it all ends up at the banks, everyone has a problem.

I don't agree with you on this. If a company isn't able to honour a contract then the other party is able to rescind it and get their money back, it's as simple as that. If there was a force majeure clause in the contract the airlines have made with their passengers, that would apply in this situation, then I'm sure they would be using it.

The airlines are having a rough time, no doubt about it. But there are companies up and down the land who are likewise. Lots of companies will go to the wall, that is guaranteed. It doesn't mean that we should suspend contract law. It is for the Government to decide whether it should bail out the airlines like any other industry, and I expect something will probably happen at some point.

And I don't think anybody would call me a lefty either.
