Delta is continuing to grow their SEA hub. 220s keep coming and the 7ER is going to give way to A321XLRs soon. They have Alaska firmly in their cross hairs. I'm not sure Alaska can continue to win sympathy from locals as "the local brand" with a bigger, better product in town. I know you guys are pretty proud and don't want to admit it but compared to Delta, Alaska is a regional airline. Those in the PacNW with money are willing to pay more for a better product that you can actually fly over seas and coast to coast in comfort on.
