Yep, I have a buddy who flies for a ANG unit in the lower 48 but has great seniority in ANC and is able to bid pretty much what he wants. If he came to Mempho he'd have more choices but less seniority by about 20-30 % points so it works for him.
If it works for you, great! Good on ya'! I would just think any PN thinking he can go to ANC and get back to the lower 48 w/i 1 yr of getting domiciled there is not being realiztic. We shall see.....
