SK flags intention to remove intra-europe C

Doing the rounds in the several newspapers and even the local language forums this weekend is that Philip Wĺgnert, VP Product Development and Management, has raised the possibility of removing C on SK intra-european routes.

SAS overvejer farvel til europćisk business class

SAS kan ta bort business class

Is the marginal cost of offering C/Y/M over a 2-class Y/M really that significant that it makes sense to give up a the higher yielding segment? I can understand that most intra-european routes, especially with the new leisure focus of SK, will not require C, but more business routes such as LHR, BHX, FRA, MUC the C cabin is never empty in my experience.
