The 76-seat E175 jet will feature 12 seats in first class and 64 in coach, and boasts cabin dimensions on par with a 737.

In what universe are the cabin dimensions of an E-jet comparable to a 737?

In many cases, the passenger experience is better for pax. The E170/175 has no middle seats (2X2), bigger windows, bins big enough to take most carry-on bags, and fewer old/jaded legacy-like dinosaur flight attendants. Sure, no IFE, but the seats and legroom seem comparable to what you find on a mainline aircraft.

Sure, but the experience and qualifications lacking up front counter any pax advantages in the rear.

AS has a totally different FA group than Delta.
 
The reason for this and the new relationship with United is a return salvo to fight off Delta. From what I hear, Alaska is also buying up their own stick to make a hostile take over even harder. I also do not think that such a deal would make it past the Feds as consolidation is all but done unless its two smaller national carriers (like two airbus operators that have virtually no overlap).

Did Alaska and United partner up .. I haven't see this anywhere .. Did I miss something ?
 
"The E175 is new for the Alaska brand and fills a specific need to serve 'long, thin routes...

I remember when the airplane for "long, thin routes" was the -747SP.
 
As only 45 SP's were built, you might consider holding up another aircraft as the poster child for long thin routes.

Nonetheless, your point is taken.
