The $30 gap isn’t everywhere - I noticed a smaller gap on LAX-LAS and a larger gap to Hawaii. But it seems like most flights from SEA, whether a short hop to PDX or a transcon to NYC has a $30 difference. Seems like a ripoff for west coast flights, I’ll certainly be flying southwest more assuming their WGA fares match Alaska’s saver fares. I’m not planning on putting effort to retaining MVP given these costs.
