Don't call it a bailout if it will save jobs, says flight attendants' union


PETALING JAYA: Using public funds to save airlines should not be seen as a bailout but as a way to aid workers in the industry who are now facing job losses and salary cuts, says the National Union of Flight Attendants (Nufam).

Its president Ismail Nasaruddin said that the term "bailout" should not be used in this case as airlines are not struggling because of mismanagement but due to the sudden halt in world travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
