You could always limit it to companies that can show the money which would have been used if there was a limited decline in business. Separate the ones who did indeed behave responsible and were caught by this extraordinary event from those who bought back stock without thinking about tomorrow.

Clearly all of them were prepared for some contingency given that they are still in business several months after a drastic decline in demand for flights.
