Peoples memories are short, absolutely, but you still have to have money to travel especially for holiday travel which is entirely discretionary. The world wide wealth destruction that has occurred in the last month is unprecedented. For most average people it will take years to regain the financial position they had in January and many may never get back.
There are a range of possible outcomes and my guess is a good as yours, but the possibility of a permanent reset of the airline industry to a smaller footprint dominated by a few major players with near monopoly pricing power is definitely one of the possible outcomes. My personal opinion worth exactly what you paid for it, is that this is what I think is the most likely outcome.
