How many DL widebody jobs exist today, because of the code share agreement? If the code share agreement ended tomorrow, would DL be able to put together enough domestic feed (provided they had the gate space available) over night? Think about the breadth of Alaska's hub out of Seattle. Someone could purchase a ticket from AUS-ICN or TUS-PVG.

I'm all for organic growth without code sharing, but I think AS makes SEA-Asia viable just as much as DL makes SEA-LAX viable.

But one thing we can agree on is that we should compete. I vote for DL adding SEA-domestic and AS adding SEA-intercontinental.
