I was unaware of any plans to terminate IAH-CDG. Both CO and AF have operated that route for years, even before teaming up in SkyTeam.

IAH-LAD is already flown several times per week by World/Sonair's special Charter service. You can't buy tickets, though. Only Energy Company employees that work for companies having a contract with World/Sonair get to ride. Apparently the MD-11 is operated as 3-Class, with pretty nice F and C sections.

You are being completely reasonable. Some people have the perspective that miles are some sort of freebie or gift, bestowed upon you by the benevolent airline, and aren't worth crap compared to cold hard cash. Well, the airline created the miles as a form of currency and benefits immensely from making those miles worth something, otherwise they wouldn't do it. At the very least, the use of miles removes a liability from their books, which is why it is more valuable to the airline than an EUA, and often the airline did actually receive cash for those miles from a credit card company.

I won't hold my breath for it, but it sure would be nice to have another nonstop option to Asia. KE manages to make DFW work somehow, perhaps OZ could make IAH work.

yes yes I know it is done, I have seen the MD-11 and I also know some of the guys on the flight that drink in copious amounts even in Y with it very free flowing from the companies :D

I mostly mean what would it take for SA to fly it...angola govt may want to protect their sonAir charter.

Entirely possible. Never know what's going to happen when dealing with West African governments. Case-in-point, the EWR-LOS fiasco.
