American and Delta Airlines were both part of the $25B bailout to the airline industry and both announced big layoffs today. What am I missing...?

Our legislators have no clue about real life. It鈥檚 unbelievable to me that these bailouts occurred.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I do believe that they were prohibited from doing layoffs before today by the terms of the bailouts :-(

The package stipulated they couldn't lay off workers until September. From what I read, they are preparing their employees for that reality. They are basically downsizing due to lack of demand.

They Probably need the money to pay executive bonuses. You know, not the people who actually make sure the planes your flying are safe.
