I’ll be the first to say AS F isn’t on the same level as DL, but it’s perfectly adequate for a pair of ~4-hour segments
DL has more flights from SEA to ANC than DL has flights from any other individual hub/airport to ANC. 7 SEA > 2 MSP etc. (and in fact perhaps there are as many DL flights nonstop from SEA to ANC as there are total DL flights nonstop from XXX to ANC, at least on some dates).
