Democrats are pushing to place conditions on a $50 billion airline bailout the White House presented to Congress Tuesday, hoping to leverage protections for frontline employees such as flight attendants, gate agents and more — not just CEOs
"If we are going to follow up the House bill with another major economic stimulus package, which we must, our major focus cannot be based on bailing out airlines, cruises and other industries," Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor Tuesday morning.
Sen. Ed Markey was the first to come out and say that any financial assistance for airlines should have “major strings attached.” “As our next coronavirus stimulus package is developed, I will demand these conditions be met before supporting any airline bailout,” Markey said. “There should be no blank check,” Blumenthal told POLITICO. “There are simple, common-sense safety and consumer protection steps that we can take.”
