well jim it maybe a locational monopoly here than what you call a "fortress hub" not too many airlines will want to fly into alaska, especially in the winter, as it is not worth the losses they would take going up there, alaska isnt a high popular destination, so having more carriers flying up there would mean emptier planes and higher prices
it is more logical to have 1 or 2 airlines for example flying out of that destination as it is more economically profitable for everyone (not just the airline(s))
