Delta is not dumb.. They have been doing these routes for a long time!! You just didn't know it. Called code sharing.. They know exactly how many seats they can and have sold. I predict Alaska to switch to the star alliance.. As it looks the Alaska/Delta love has come to a end.. (I think the restricted Delta pilots contract, when it comes to code share has done them well)
