Award routings seem to pound the system to find availablity in the requested bucket, it is not just an Alaska thing. Delta has offered me connections in Evansville and Bozeman and American has frequently suggested I fly XXX-ORD-DFW-MSP (to keep me moving?)when ORD-MSP availability exists with a longer connection.
