Maybe if Alaska wasn’t so sh1t scared they would have walked away too. We would all have been a lot happier and better off.
Delta was not considering a VX purchase. It would not have offered them anything they needed. SEA is their NW hub plus LAX to the south. They would have ended up dropping most of the SFO flights. There was simply nothing of value that matched the Delta system.
