What kind of question is this? How “poor” would any airline do at $150/barrel oil? Guess what, they would all do poor.
What has changed since the last oil price crunch is that the USA is now a net exporter of energy over the last 5+ years.

Suddenly EVs aren't looking like a bad idea. No oil shocks, no shock to the economy and this would mostly be a nothing burger economically speaking. The bigger issue at play is if this is sustained over weeks/months, the public will buy gas instead of tickets. High gas prices are like a tax on the economy. Same net effect.

That doesn't change the cost of jetA and of which most of the increase in the past few years is the crack spread due to a consolidation of refiners anyways. It's like 2x-3x the amount pre-Covid.
