You could distrust any certificate that was signed before April 7 (or some slightly later date). It might be easier to do that and whitelist the good "pre-apocalypse" certificates. The nice thing about doing this is that you

The flights through that area are scheduled, it would be trivial to figure out which flights go in the direction you want to go and thus can hide behind. After that, you precalculate the intercept to a plane that works timing-wise before y
