Up to now, WN hasn’t had much luck in the Seattle market, and that has been no doubt comforting for AS. But, if a second airport were to open up, WN could jump at that competitive opportunity; using this secondary airport would be most consistent with WN’s business plan thus far. And if that airport is much less of a headache for passengers to access and fly through than SEA, WN could make a very convincing argument to Seattle area flyers, that could ultimately cause headaches for AS.
