I remember threads before the current crisis where the almost unanimous received wisdom was that the future of the airline industry lay in more airports, shorter hops and smaller planes. This was used by our erstwhile Airbus detractors to argue that the super-large aircraft was a white elephant and that Boeing have it right with their smaller, faster new approach.
Well, how times change! The crisis means that we will now have permanently higher security levels with longer check-in (and therefore gross journey) times and higher costs, which makes short-hops flights less attractive than before. These days, as has been amply demonstrated in recent threads, it doesn't even make sense for a business traveller to fly fron NYC to DC, with the train being faster, cheaper, more comfortable and, many feel, more secure. However, the same people are now arguing that this new environment still favours Boeing and that the A380 will never sell.
It just goes to show that you can make any argument fit the conclusion you want to reach!
