There's been a few trips booked already where DL was the cheaper option which is...interesting.
I'm a Delta refugee, but it's interesting to compare my upgrade rates across the two. (Delta Diamond vs. Alaska 100K)
Delta upgraded me to F on 29 of 38 elegible flights (76%)
Alaska upgraded me to F on 13 of 20 elegible flights (65%)
I figured the difference is that I'm based in the DC area, so many of my Alaksa flights are cross country while my Delta flights are more varied.
