Even Norwegian has moved some flights from OAK to SFO.

I suppose anything might work, but it certainly is a troubled market. The only way I could see AS trying to make it work is with a redeye out and morning flight back (basically use a Hawaii plane and squeeze that in overnight to get better utilization).
Not to mention DY pulled out all non-seasonal routes from OAK. B6 went from how many OAK/NYC flights a day to what, one red-eye?

As much as I'd love to see an OAK/NYC flight ...
