No, too expensive to compete that way. The best way to do is to have an effective codeshare on a route that you wouldn't have made money on anyways.
Three simple steps: codeshare, skip to step 3, profit.

So they're adding around 314 seats into the market every day. kind of interesting to watch. it'd be worth it to take a snap shot of the fares as of right now and then after Alaska begins service and see if prices go down.
If they don't go down and the route is successful then there was room for more seats on that route then what we were doing. But instead of us doing it we're welcoming Alaska to do it in our place.
