BA launches codeshare with AS - including SEA-Hawaii
Good news - BA has launched new codeshares with Alaska Air on the following routes, effective 23 November 2016:
- Seattle to Honolulu, Kona and Kahului
- Seattle, San Francisco and San Jose (California) to Portland
- Seattle to Salt Lake City, Boise, Fairbanks and Spokane
- San Jose to Santa Ana
This will be great in finally being able to earn TPs on Alaska, particularly as additional options to Hawaii via SEA rather than just LAX or PHX currently.
Hopefully more routes will be added in due course.

If anything, it makes sense for the JBA because you could already do e.g., LHR-SEA-PDX entirely ticketed on AA but not BA, even though AA wouldn't operate either of the flights.

Great news as more TP opportunities is always better than less. Timings work well for HNL. Can take second BA flight from LHR and minimize overall travel time.
Does not help those of us who prefer OGG though. It would seem the late LHR->SEA gets in too late to connect to the afternoon OGG flight which just leaves you with an 8:45am departure from LHR and many lounge hours in SEA to arrive in OGG at the same time as you would via LAX.

BA coded always gets points, at the BA rate, no matter the operator.

Interesting to note that this restores the possibility of getting F tier points on the Hawaiian routes, but only under a BA A or F ticket.

The recent BA advertising push extolling the virtues of Hawaii is probably related to this.
