Maybe not. NWA paid a COLA (flat rate) to pilots in Guam. HNL and ANC had one, too. ALPA even negotiated a pass travel arrangement on Alaska that gave ANC commuters a higher priority than Alaska employees, regardless of where they were traveling, on Alaska.
Those 3 bases were still "junior" to LAX, SEA, and MSP.
