Where are you commuting from?
The easiesiest commute to ANC is actually from Memphis. They run 4-6 flights in MD11s and 777s and you can lock in the jumpseat 24 hours in advance. Not even a FedEx guy can bump you once you're locked in and they provide a meal due to flight length. Awesomeness.
Is it possible for me to take a family member on purple? I used to go fishing up there every year before the bad times and my son is just about ready for that kind of fishing trip. There used to be the ability to book my wife on the Jumpseat with me before 9-11 on some of the cargo carriers. Just wondering if that sort of thing might ever be a remote possibility in the future.
