Good luck taking advantage of your "free" move to a domicile in the lower 48 after your tour is done....a new hires seniority won't hold anything outside of the junior base of ANC. Maybe MIA would be available....
I'm not sure if I'm going to sign the 3 year deal, I'm still considering it. The reason I said I had no choice was because that was the domicile I was assigned as a new hire. I have weighed the options and commuting on probation sounds like a poor choice. So yes, I have to move up there. Don't get me wrong, the idea of being mid level seniority to start makes ANC more palatable; and it should be an interesting lifestyle change.
