Hello all,

Been lurking for awhile, learned lots. Thanks!

Maybe this a dumb question, but I can't find any references either here or elsewhere on the internet: is it possible to "status" match using your southwest history? I flew ~ 40-45 southwest segments last year. Although I actually love southwest, I just wonder if I could be using my segments to upgrade on another airline, specifically Alaska. Anyone know if my flight history (in competing markets, ie OAK-SEA, OAK-SAN/LAX, OAK-PDX) would be enough to get a match from alaska? I'm not inclined to switch my business if I have to do it the hard way - I already know I can get my exit row aisle seat by showing up early enough @ SWA...

Thanks!
