The vodka deicing was always a favorite story of mine.
Anyways, with the amount of students from the Russian Far East who attend University in Alaska, it would make sense to have some sort of semi regular service, a four hour flight sure beats 24 hours of travel through SEA, LAX and ICN.
I am sure plenty of those students would be willing to pay a huge premium to save 20 hours of travel time. I know I would. Maybe we should pool some money together and start FlyerTalk Air Charter.
