SWA will be the last man standing, if it comes to that.
And worst case, if this virus crisis is still a thing 12 months from now, and we haven't developed technology, therapies, and protocols for dealing with it more effectively than we are now, then before allowing the last remaining airline to fall and stripping our nation of airline service, the government will step in with stimulus just like they did with the CARES Act. Remember, airlines are critical national infrastructure. It's the whole idea behind the RLA.
The government will not allow all airlines to fail.
