New Alaska Routes announced...
Alaska Airlines Adds New Hawaii Service From Oakland, Expands Seattle-Honolulu Flying and Announces Seattle-Houston and Seattle-Atlanta Service - Yahoo! Finance
Watch out Delta & Continental...we're coming after you!!! Just kidding obviously. I'm a little surprised with the Atlanta announcement. Already served multiple times/day by Delta & Airtran right? Company cited weak Mexico and strong Hawaii demand. Looks like more lovely southeast flying if you're SEA based...yeehaww.

Since Delta now has the new "expanded" codeshare deal with you, I'd bet that at least one Delta ATL-SEA flight will be discontinued. I'll also bet that half the seats on the Alaska ATL-SEA flight as well as half the seats on the new Hawaii flights will be sold by Delta. We'll all be one happy family in about two years anyways so it will eventually all be a moot point.

Because Hawaiian already serves that route and nobody serves OAK-OGG/KOA and the demand was there when Aloha and ATA were there?
Well Airtran only is summer seasonal. And their 4 flights a day are usually pretty full. So I think the demand is also there for year round service by 2 carriers.

Let's integrate one merger before we predict the next. The NWA merger at least included two carriers with similiar heavy lift. Integrating a soley narrow body airline would not be as "nice" an SLI. The bickering could quickly go the way of AWA/USAir.
