Cnn, what exactly do you gain by spelling doom?

Who wants to fly after they made the seats smaller and more uncomfortable. Drive and stay close to home. Shut the airlines down.

These big corporations need to stop whining

Never should have resumed anything more than regional flights

They just take government $$$ and raise rates later. Wish we all had that luxury..

Serves them right!

I think you mean a surge in positive tests. Using the right words is important!

Wow, you seem happy about this...hmmmm...wonder why

Which means they will be begging for more handouts from taxpayers, who themselves cannot get the help they need from the government they pay taxes to, taxes with are used to support the airlines and other big corporations.

CNN try not to sound so happy when you report bad things. Your hate for America is showing.

Trump will demand that people get on planes to make him look good.

Airlines don't care, they'll just get another bailout
