That said... for what it's worth, since I took a new job I have been MVPG on AS the past two years, and been caught in this mess like so many others. Twice this fall I've had to rebook after a cancellation, and two other times I've ended up booking another airline because the only AS flights that worked were cancelled or full. Between that and the loss of partnerships I am on the fence about going for the Delta Skymiles status match.

EUG is a similar situation to MFR at this point. I think DL has decided they'll try to eat AS's lunch and have started EUG-SEA as well - hence they are gaining market share like crazy while Alaska is losing. I like AS a lot but they really, really need to do better.
