I think that's pretty much the point. With ANC potentially going very junior in the left seat, there will more than likely be new ANC CA's with no international experience of their own (FO's from the domestic fleets upgrading to ANC CA).
If you're a new-hire FO without any international experience of your own, there might not be an experienced crew with which to pair you.
