Alaska is permitted 86 seats....

Worried about RJs flying hub to hub?
RJs are capped at 6% of that flying but Alaska can do 25%

Can Alaska merge with oh say Hawaiian and fly 330s to ASIA with the Delta code?
Absolutely...

Folks Read your PWA Section 1 O....
Apart from the 86 seat limit Alaska can do unlimited non hub-to-hub flying worldwide carrying the Delta code...

2 Alaska 737s = 1 Delta 757!
