Time will certainly tell but I think Privatair has a good chance to survive. They operate for other airlines and so they will still have pax from the respective airline's networks.
Regarding SQ. I wonder if they are able to generate much highly time-sensitive cargo revenue from their all business class service. I would think with less pax on the main deck (albeit heavier seats) might mean some of the weight reduction which could go to carraige of freight on the holds.
About Silverjet, I was just reading Airline Business or perhaps it was Flight International, that an arab investor in Dubai was willing to chip into Silverjet so that it could expand to other markets etc. obviously this hasn't happened. Maybe the investor pulled out of the deal :P
