Public airlines publish passenger figures in aggregate with their financial results.

The government also has a website with some of the figures here:

To your point about business class passengers not caring about reduced capacity — they will care if there are fewer connecting flights to international flights (I suppose they also may care if there are fewer biz class seats on the domestic portion, but that’s probably not a huge issue.) My biggest fear would be the reduction in feeder traffic meeting the international flights, which would put fewer people on the more profitable international legs. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s something to watch for.

Can’t you count on passengers from overseas taking some of the capacity from the lowered hub traffic. And most US based international passengers looking at other factors — the business class passengers you want are not going to care so much about a reduction in domestic capacity (unless you have a really disastrous situation like in Newark, where you have to schedule 5+ hours of lay over time to make an international flight)
