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...?

They should be required to return the bailout funds if/when file bankruptcy!

That they got 25B$ without interest which they wouldn't have needed in first place, because they already has received around 50B$ in tax cuts in two years

Nothing to see here

Delta offered VOLUNTARY severance or early retirement packages, just like they have done in the past when struggling. That’s it. No one was laid off

You’re not missing anything. You are spot on.

That’s after they crowded us all into an airplane with EVERY seat filled!! Which is ironic because the gate agents told us to keep social distancing at 6 ft! Smh.
