A well-done debut video by AV8 about the turf war between Alaskan Airlines and Delta Airlines occurring in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, almost a decade after the two companies ended one of the closest partnerships in the airline industry.

I watched this before it was posted to Tildes, but something I recall seeing posted a few times in the comments is that this video is much higher quality than expectations for a channel first. My money would be on that this person has experience as a paid editor and decided to branch out to independent content.
I'm personally glad to see that no airline is taking complete dominance at this airport. It keeps things competitive, which is great. I do wish that Alaska would improve their offerings a bit though. Between the two I would probably say I'd prefer to support Alaska, but Delta feels like a just slightly better flying experience. Admittedly its little things, like that Delta has the built-in TVs versus Alaska trying to upsell renting tablets, but those add up when trapped in a seat for hours on end.
SeaTac was also a relevant player in another recent video, I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_V6HJNDjDs about American Airlines from Wendover Productions. The tl;dr of its relevance on this specific topic, assuming I recall it correctly, is that where Delta managed to get a proper foothold into using SeaTac as an international hub American failed at that same strategy.

In the description they credit two other relatively popular Youtubers who no longer produce videos, I'm guessing that could have something to do with it. I've seen a few channels show up out of nowhere producing very high quality videos recently, and it turned out some of them had private equity backing them, so that's possible too.
My feelings are similar. Alaska isn’t bad, but Delta is generally better, with Delta having a considerable edge when it comes to lounges. As far as I’m aware, Alaska also only kinda has a lie-flat...
My feelings are similar. Alaska isn’t bad, but Delta is generally better, with Delta having a considerable edge when it comes to lounges. As far as I’m aware, Alaska also only kinda has a lie-flat long haul business class product via the Hawaiian merger, which puts them at a disadvantage.
