Alaska cuts some and ads some service

[ImbracableCrunk]

Alaska flying from their biggest hub to another city is not that big of a deal.

DTW is the biggest NWA hub, but you were close. SEA is also a crew base, isn't it? Lotsa non-revs.

MSN,

Same thing happened with AS's AA codeshare. AS got into some markets (ORD, BOS, MIA, MCO) because AA redeployed assets away from those cities and SEA. However, they still book their passengers there via the codeshare.

Same deal with NWA. Looks like they may be wanting to pull down some frequency and are relying on the AS codeshare to accomodate passengers.

Really, its no big deal for the big boys. AS only puts a couple flights a day into these cities anyway. So you're only talking about 300 passengers a day each way.

By "their," QCappy was referring to Alaska, with SEA being Alaska's biggest base. This is no big deal, except that it saves AAG non-revs who can't jumpseat money to get to a fro.
