I think the new normal will be people simply adjusting to a background of coronavirus just like they have to influenza, Zika, and HIV. SWA is planning on lead turning the comeback in the hope of coming out of it with increased domestic market share. I think ultimately F9 and NK will do the same. AA appears to be following a similar strategy - if only out of desperation - while Delta and United are planning to “shrink to profitability.”
My money is on SWA because they for sure have the deep pockets to pull it off. AA seems to be too deeply mired in debt to compete against SWA. In fact unless international flying rebounds promptly they may be screwed. NK could probably play the same game as SWA, but not for as long. F9? Who knows...
