they are airlines, not banks. They are important but we need not fear collapse if they disappear. No doubt some will survive, somehow. Saving them would not be a waste of money, but the money can be better spent. For example on disease control and medical care.

Whats the difference with banks? If a bank goes bankrupt won't someone come in and buy at a low price? The deposits in the bank wont disappear..
