Well, considering the fact that the State Department has told all Americans abroad to be ready to return to the US any day now, and we're all pretty much expecting a declaration of war in the state of the union tomorrow, it seems the war is imminent.

With the State Department recommending that no Americans be abroad, I think that's probably going to put a pretty big crimp on the airlines. Particularly the majors which are getting killed domestically, but may be earning some money on some international routes. Cut those revenues out and the airlines are going to be lining up for more government cash handouts and/or bankruptcy court.
