It doesn't hurt to check on it though. Mine wasn't auto-paid, had to call the CPSC and they got it straightened out.

It's out.

"...At Seattle,Delta's Asian expansion is powered by its partnership with Alaska Air Group. New nonstop flights from Seattle to Beijing and Osaka will be timed for convenient connections with Delta and Alaska's 267 combined daily departures to 64 destinations from Seattle/Tacoma, and will complement Delta's existing daily service to Tokyo-Narita. Delta and Alaska offer customers reciprocal codeshare, lounge and frequent flyer benefits to make it easier to connect between the airlines' domestic and international networks at Seattle..."

Considering the little game of tit-for-tat with AMR surrounding JAL, the retaliatory route changes by AMR, and the end of JFK terminal negotiations, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bidding war for ALK (provided AMR were to lose JAL). We have some rights with respect to a merger with ALK, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us being forced to bid higher...

I would bet ALK would be an important piece of the puzzle in any future consolidation event.
