Of course, none of those other airlines have ability to connect on their own metal beyond ANC, none of them have hubs on both ends where they get 50% or more of the market, and only one of them has a hub on ONE end (DL in SEA).
But sure, the airline called "Alaska Airlines" probably doesn't understand how to price their fares to maximize RASM in the SEA-ANC market very well, when compared to
this airline. OK. The FT Executive VPs of Revenue Management have got this one covered.
