That sounds fair enough, but don't we then get into the seat-mile-cost-based peril of punters exclaiming "this is no good! the fares are too high! I can get a cheaper fare from [EXT/BRS/LGW/Xanadu]!"? A Dornier would do the job very nicely, for example, but you'll need some pretty solid yields for it to pay its way.
