Airlines got billions. They cannot layoff or furlough employees because of this until Sep. 30, as far as I know. But it also limits executive compensation. Why did not Sabre take government assistance? Anyone knows?

It has nothing to do with H1B folks. It's only because of limits on executive compensation and layoffs of US employees. Blame the execs, not the poor guy at your level.
Government bailouts come with strict rules, including not letting go of US employees and requiring E level executives to take a 2/3 pay cut for the next 2 years. Any other questions as to why the executives chose not to take a government bail out?
Sabre doesn't want the government assistance because the government will impose Sabre to bring back jobs from India and stop hiring so many H1B's. Corporate GREED!
We don't know if BLR had been ommited. Indian labor law may not have anything equivalent to furlough in it, so they could just unceremoniously lay off people later instead.
Why was India omitted from the furloughs?
Sabre doesn't want the government to control them as to when they can lay off. They also don't want the backlash for what follows, mass movement of US jobs to India.
