These airlines are such punks and shouldnt be bailed out considering how they use their cash.The 3 major airlines ie American Airlines,Delta Airlines and United Airlines have been using 96% of their Free Cash Flow (FCF) to buying back their own stock.



This is how corporate America works.Company executives buy their own stock (for themselves not the company initially)when prices are cheaper.Then by borrowing in the corporate bond market or from revenues generated from company activities,they have their firms buyback their own stock.This massively pushes up the stock plus sucks in other investors to buy into rising stock prices.Then these executives,having bought these equities earlier now sell back their holdings into the market at much higher prices raking in a hefty profit for the executives not the company.Also by buying back their own stock,they reduce the overall float of stocks in the publicly traded market thus Earnings per Share increases since the denominator ie floated shares reduces creating a false impression that their EPS is high due to more effective business operations.70% of the US stock market rise in the last 11 years is due to this stock buyback scheme.

Now that the corporate bond market is in distress,these companies that borrowed to buy back their own stock are in trouble as the stocks are tanking massively so cannot pay back bond holders from proceeds of sales of their appreciating stock.Covid-19 just exacerbated the problem especially for airlines and now they need a bailout so that executives buy back their own stock and repeat the same shenanigans??Even Billionaire Mark Cuban is lamenting that this is ridiculous and that companies that get bailed out do not buy back their own stock

the national carrier of Rwanda announced it will temporarily halt all flights for the next 30 days in light of the coronavirus pandemic. RwandAir joins an ever-growing list of airlines who have taken the decision to temporarily halt operations.

Boeing's stock price has plunged to $97 from highs of about $440 in 2019 in the type of moves bankruptcies are made of. For KQ it is the case of a broke GoK attempting to save a broke SOE...I wouldn't count on it.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

A CEO who thinks like this is not fit to drive this Company out of the bad management it has been through for so many years.

What about employees who are living from hand to mouth, relying from paycheck to paycheck?

Salary reduction should apply to senior executives only.

What they need to do is to ask for a bailout from the government. This is the only way out.

Reducing salaries of junior employees is a drop in the ocean. What about lease costs for planes that will be parked for months? Does Allan want to tell us the savings from the salaries is enough to service the lease costs and other loans.

A serious executive will negotiate at first instance with banks on the loans they are servicing and aircraft lessors regarding ways to defer the monthly repayments.

The letter above addressed to the employees does not mention of such a discussion, only a sentence talks about the government.

By increasing his paycut by 5% to 80% is just laughable.

80% pay cut isn't laughable.. The staff were always the problem at KQ
