In the end, are we making them an easier merger target for our competition? (e.g. American)
We're adding flights to feed our (Seattle) international destinations, which in-turn reduces both of our RASM numbers, making Alaska "cheaper" for someone else to swoop -in & merge/assume their network. Like they say, "we've just done someone's bidding for them!"
