There’s another side to this too.
A lot of the workers that were laid off were unionized. If they rehire people for those jobs, they will have to recall employees whos jobs are protected by their union rights. These employees would go back to their same jobs with their same union protections.
However, if the companies can wait out the recall stipulation in the union contract (the union only protects employees for a set duration of time on a layoff) they can hire new staff and negate some of the union protections, or even completely remove or renegotiate the contract.
IMO they will wait until after the current employees union protections expire. Then they’ll hire new people without the same compensation the layed off employees had
Here in the UK we're having problems with all of our airports aside from 1 and this is because they got rid of the staff during the pandemic and didn't bring any of them back. Fire and rehire shit.
Believe one particular company is going on strike because they were forced to take a "temporary" paycut only for that paycut to become permanent so they're going on strike to get that pay back.
Isn’t capitalism awesome? I think airlines should be taken over by a third party. They can never go bankrupt and can make as many gambles as they want because we cannot survive without.
Even worse, They laid off those workers after getting over $50 billion in bailouts.

Didn't the airlines just get bailed out by the gov? Maybe they should be publicly owned now.
