I too would be surprised. Too much cruise-related traffic, given the increase of one-way cruising between Vancouver and Seward (for Anchorage). Don't know the numbers, but I'd wager there's a huge number of open-jaws on DFW/ORD-ANC and YVR/SEA-ORD/DFW routes or v.v. that they don't want to abandon. DL's summer connections to ANC from the southeast are terrible, so with the growh of the cruise industry it frankly wouldn't surprise me to see someone with a decent Texas/midwest/south feeder route actually increasing capacity to ANC in the summer.
