My skepticism comes from my belief that there is an insufficient number of customers residing in, or traveling to the NYC or LAX catchments who are willing/able to pay the going SQ J fare day in and day out with enough volume to fill two A340s.

I am going to ask a consultant friend of mine to see if he can pull a data run on those primary routes to see how the numbers look.
