Alaska is a legacy carrier and formed before Deregulation Act of 1978. Southwest and the ones who followed were established as low-cost carriers.

I really don't mind it anyway. DL will do it on their own, this is merely a speed bump. No biggie, it was just a little insecure of them, but whatevs.

I suppose there was no JDP category for sharing of proprietary information with competitors or Alaska would've certainly been in jeopardy winning year after year

Its a good thing for Alaska and Delta, as it gives us something to strive for. And its working. We're narrowing the gap considerably and quickly. That makes us all better and our industry stronger.
Alaska (barely) beat DL this year, and they 100% deserve the award. It was hard earned.

Uhh, actually, that post was the first time you said congrats, but thanks anyway .... But then you quickly followed it up with a several back-handed compliments (great innovation but shame on you for not sharing, you won but barely,etc.).

I'd hope he stops short of cheering for ME3 to take down one or more US legacy airlines so he hopefully gets some more code share flying out of the deal, but to each his own.
