Just a few examples.

So I'll ask another question, why the airlines? Why not all the companies of the 20 million who are currently without jobs first, then we can get to the airline employees who have not been laid off yet? i think the line for free bailout money starts way back there around the corner and up the block don't you?
Or is it because its your job so of course you are the most important person to you, thus pushing for this realty to happen in a biased manor?
