Certainly, setting up a classic whipsaw. Its not past AS management to do that either. When they bought Jet America, they threatened the pilot group with shrinking Alaska and expanding Jet America if the pilots didn't accept a concessionary contract.
If you don't think they'd at least make the threat, check out what they just got finished doing to Horizon over the E175 flying.
