I know SAS is running Stavanger-Houston oneclass business. It is far from the concept here, but an indication in that direction and a hint that well-targeted niche may work. My proposal was veeeery rough idea and therefore easy to kill.
Interesting observation though that there is a rapid opposition discussion here from FTalkers of >10k postings
SAS can charge pretty much whatever they want on that route and the oil companies will pay it. I'm sure they've got some solid corporate contracts with Conoco and Shell guaranteeing business on that route.
Being a *A member SAS also has lots of IRROPs options out of IAH via UA and LH.
