This is indeed good news for the climate, but at the same time bad news for the employees. The German government should now expand (actually reinstate all the services they have reduced) the rail service. Service on or driving on a train cannot be that different than doing the same in a plane. Paid retraining can begin as soon as the lockdown is over. So stop giving money to the airlines, and use it to invest in public transport.
