Uh, no they don't. And, no they won't, when we start SEA to ANC, look for lower fares for the common man.
Alaska SEA-ANC=$449-529
SWA similar route length= $270 (LAX-MDW)
Check-out DEN to any SWA paired city, growth has been fantastic, we are getting more gates faster than planned, we can't get enough jets. Check out average fares, dramatic drop, AND everybody is carrying more passengers. Alaska owns ANC? Hardly.
Hmmmm. oooooookay. Never really been up there, eh? Hardly. I obviously don't fly for Alaska, but I recognize a monopoly when I see one. Really. But, go ahead and pound your chest and think you will be the savior. GO ahead.

You have never flown that route, have you? We flew the 757 from SEA to ANC for a while, and then gave it up. (this is when we were doing great) UA has one flight, CAL has maybe two, mostly for cargo from SEA. I don't care how successful SWA is, there are some routes that can't be touched. SEA and PDX to ANC belong to Alaska Air. Quit beating your CHEST.

No chest beating here. If it is underserved/overpriced, we will probably be there sooner or later. If it doesn't look to be profitable, I imagine that we will pass.
And, the Southwest connections to Anchorage? How did they get there from SAT? Get the picture? Most of our pax connect through our hubs to places SW doesn't fly to, like Montana and Alaska. We are full most of the time.
