That's a foregone conclusion. Domestic will come back sooner. I don't know if the domestic carriers will prosper any time soon but they may be able to acquire some market share as the bigs re-trench and try to not bleed out while paying for their parked widebodies.
Not sure about HA, they might pick up on at least the HI/mainland flying as people opt for safer and cheaper HI vacations instead of further overseas. But they have a lot of Asian exposure too.
