Spirit and other domestic operators won't be as impacted IMHO.
Particularly if the federal government tries to kickstart domestic travel once this blows over in a couple of months.
Maybe free admission to National Parks, tax exempt bookings on airfare, hotels etc. Who knows. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking on my part but it could happen.

After SARS things rebounded quickly.
Quote from the following article,
"We've seen a definite uptick in demand for domestic flights at the same time that international demand has fallen," she said. "I would expect that is something we will see continue."

That said, this is a different animal (not talking about frontier), little more than just a recession, more mass hysteria than anything. Seriously, who the he*l is buying all the water?!?!
Me, I'm looking for some good deals as there will be some great vacation opportunities coming soon! Oh, and not that place where the rat lives, you can keep that hole!
Happy traveling!
