They are just like any other business. They seek to take advantage of any situation they can to increase that bottom line.
I am sure the normal person that has no real need for the free money that the government intends to hand out will not send it back. Does that make a person greedy?

Airlines are handing out vouchers, not refunds. So they kept the customers money and will likely get a bailout. Double dipping.
