Now I have no idea of the numbers but I suspect that if the difference per aircraft was, say £50k per annum they would not bother. But if it was, say £250k or more… then the beancounters might be swayed.

I reckon average J fares would have to be like £12k or maybe more, maybe £15k, then it'll make sense. Perth has fares around £8k, so maybe it is achievable. But we are talking eye-watering numbers here...
