Seems to me the LCC/ULCC model will fare better in just about any black swan event - not just this one.

In a big enough war, widebodies will all be flying somewhere while domestic travel may be down (or even restricted). Other than that, you're probably right.

But for business-as-usual, the hub&spoke model has a lot of utility for a lot of potential customers who cannot get the needed frequency with direct flights (or get a direct flight at all).
