My guess is no better than yours, but I'm guessing that it's the revenue side that's the difference (or at least perceived difference) for Norwegian. I don't know, but it sure seems like the operational costs are much higher at SFO than at OAK. Still, Norwegian is marketing to a particular demographic profile. Maybe SFO is a better match for that compared to OAK.
Regardless, Norwegian is just barely staying aloft these days, financially, so we'll see if it really matters which SF Bay Area airport they use.
