I suspect that AS is going to keep serving DAL as part of the deal (the DOJ/DOT would be vexed if an LCC left the market to WN's tender mercies, I would think). It makes some sense to serve SEA and (possibly) PDX out of DAL instead of that clunker LAS flight (which made about as much sense as their ill-fated AUS service). So they might codeshare the SEA-DAL nonstop into the DAL market?
