One big reason: miles. If I book a $300 transcon with UA or AA I bring in 2,000 miles with my lifetime status. Book the same ticket with Alaska and I'm bringing in 11,000 miles. Take away the miles and I probably would go back to UA and AA for the better schedules and networks, but for right now I make good use of those Alaska miles and want to keep doing that as long as possible.
