Well, all that's rather in the hands of the FAA now. I rather suspect not only they but the airlines too will take a pretty dim view of showering airways with debris in such spectacular style, especially as it resulted in numerous aircraft holding en route and some diverting.
Any future date for Flight 8 will depend entirely on how quickly the FAA conduct the enquiry and implement doubtless numerous new conditions, restrictions and standards, something I suspect they'll not wish to hurry over regardless of how much their ultimate boss is in Spacex's bosses pocket.
