Their business model does make them very exposed to the whim of the government for sure. But they are a private company with regards to incorporation and ownershipAirlines are completely dependent on the government, the reality is they pretend to be private companies but without the .gov they are out of business.
Think about how many crises we currently have under the Biden administration. Just insane.
Hmmm...I haven't looked through the history of this particular side-discussion, but an airline's stock ticker symbol means that it's a public company, not a private company. Private companies aren't listed on a public stock exchange. It is not, however, a government entity, although like every other company in the U.S., the government keeps giving them taxpayer dollars.Their stock ticker says they are a private company. Keep on dancing.
Reference was with regard to government ownership.

No where near the same as TVA. More like my company a defense contractor. The .gov establishes the board for TVA I believe. All these companies have the executives chosen by the stock holders. Yeah I laughed a little when I typed that too.True but completely at the mercy of the .gov. They are almost like TVA, yeah they are not government run but completely under government control.
They aren’t under government control. But they are serfs subject to the whim of the .gov. Yes we’re splitting hairs and pointing to the fact that there is no real corporate decision here as somebody has claimed.True but completely at the mercy of the .gov. They are almost like TVA, yeah they are not government run but completely under government control.
