That's honestly tough to say. History has shown that after a period of time, Americans seem to forget the sadness of tragedy and focus on the pain in their wallet. In, say, 5 years, the angry riot of people demanding $25 round trip fares will drown out the rational "pay them and they will come" people. They will say, "see, there hasn't been a crash in 10 years. It's all good now." Americans are mostly stupid, never forget that.
