Seems Delta is running a timed promotion for all Alaska elites where when you status match, you get bumped up a level meaning Alaska MVP = Delta Gold, MVP Gold = Delta Platinum etc. check out the chart below and when you scroll down you can see where it shows Alaska Airlines. My fear is Alaska will do the same and the first class and premium cabins will be overrun by X-Delta flyers like what happened last time. https://www.delta.com/content/www/en...challenge.html
