The biggest uphill climb for the ULCCs to get support (at least in Europe) might well be environmental pressures...there's a case that the virus will simply be the stick that's used to club them.

And I confess that I won't be sorry to see them go. I'm on the other end of the spectrum, however...to the extent that there's an environmental crisis that needs solving by reducing travel, I'd take the opposite view of that ULCC executive who argued for banning Business Class and argue that zapping cheap fares is the more sensible solution.
