Question 1 - Will I have a chance to be upgraded, since they both are in the SkyMiles program?
Question 2 - On DL flights, I get 100% bonus miles (as a Gold Medallion). Will I get the same benefit if I take those Alaska Airlines flights?

Thank you
I see by looking at the Alaska Air schedule that they operate two flights a day, which connect by the way, to Dallas, maybe you can switch to those flights? Just make sure they're not in A or W fare class and you should earn the MQM and miles.
