This is problematic for making morning connections in LAX (example, to ZIH), making a overnight layover necessary.

Anyone have insights why Alaska is doing this, particularly during a peak travel season?
I know they are building PDX into a regional mini hub and that gives a little wiggle room for those 5am departures from places like GEG or MFR to connect.
