Delta supposedly doesn't share revenue with Alaska either, but DL is dumping routes to AK left and right. Once a connection is made from one carrier to another, the two companies can split the price basically anyway they want, thus sharing revenue. On the flights with no connections, only one carrier gets those revenues but that can be made up on flights with connections. They share revenue one way or another.
