Didn't several U.S. airline CEOs go begging in front of congress in the days after 9-11? IIRC, a few of the bigs took gummint money but a couple didn't need to.
Remember too that when airlines like United and American go bankrupt they gladly dump their pension obligations onto the federal government (PBGC).
