I'm a bit confused on capacity increases. You have either P2P travel, or connections. I doubt suddenly 25% more people are expected to travel to Portland as their final destination, you'd see a slow consistent growth. So then it must be connections to prompt such a sudden increase by rerouting exist travel. But if they aren't adding international routes, where are people connecting to via PDX? I'm not sure I'm following the ALK strategy of increasing routes to PDX while at the same time moving to international routes via SEA. It seems like the two would go hand in hand: add international routes, add connecting flights to feed those routes.
