The big three (aa, dal and ual) will be able to weather the storm. If anyone needs to worry about this it's the LCC airlines and maybe another enema is what this industry needs to clean out the airlines that can barely hang on and just like to play spoiler.
Says the guy who applied to Virgin and Spirit and lucky enough to be picked up at US Airways. Speaking of "clean out the airlines," it was US Airways that was twice bankrupt and hung on only because of draconian bankruptcy laws that allow a nearly dead company to continue existing. Your sentiment means US Airways should have been gone several years ago. But today, you can stand on a high horse and make statements against LCCs.
