I disagree. We've seen SJC attempted two painful times by AMR. It's cursed.
Recall AA flying their SJC-NRT into OAK for a short fuel stop. The issue was that in the event departures are reversed to the south, a heavy Triple Seven to Asia will have trouble clearing the downtown buildings in the event of an engine out after V2. That's serious.
Or the fact that the fabled "tech money" prefers Y for their employees. And the executives the company's Global Express.
Or the fact it's SJC in general. San Jose, for all its wealth, is not a especially nice area v SF/Oakland/Berkeley. Thankfully it still has the wonderful SJSU university.
