It's a fine line between "wouldn't work for operational reasons" and "wouldn't work for economic reasons". You can make a lot of things work operationally, depending on how much of an economic hit you are willing to take to do them. Qantas over the decades has withdrawn from a lot of routes, because operationally, it wasn't economic to do them.
