They are expecting to be bailed out like the rest of the airlines, and in my opinion they should. They were ordered to not operate their business, and reducing headcount suggests that once they are allowed to fully operate again, they are not expecting to offer the same amount of flights as before.

I'm sure they'll be around. Maybe they'll go into bankruptcy again at some point. I believe we have the largest fleet in the world and they've already said they'd be getting rid of their 757s, 767s and Embraer 190s.
What a liability it must be for the airlines that operate the A380. Airbus and their 380 customers were lucky there wasn't enough interest to build a second batch of those planes.
