ALK would be wise to avoid any actions that might antagonize the local community, such a move would only fly if the HA interisland flight crews are not on the same seniority schedule as the TPAC and Mainland US crews, Horizon offers the same (or better) contract as the current HA interisland one.[/QUOTE]

I highly doubt many AS pilots, flight crews are certified to fly ETOPS wide bodies, A321. ALK will likely transition slowly to an all Boeing fleet, can punt on the seniority issues until that point.
