The commute from SEA to ANC is horrible...AK has a lock on the market, and although they have a flight every hour, they are ALL full, with 20-30 stdbys, and they roll to each next flight, all day long. CAL used to have 2 flights a day, dunno if they still do or not, they were usually my saving grace. When I did get on, the 2nd jumpseat on the 737 was the most common answer, and it sucks for 3.5 hours. Move to ANC, for cryin out loud--amazing place to live!
