Most of the new hire slots are in ANC. F15Cricket got it out of the box and held a line right away.

The typical scenario is that almost everyone originally gets assigned ANC and unless they live up there, they all bid out to SEA, PDX or LAX ASAP. That leaves open slots in ANC for the new hires.

If you want to go to ANC, especially if you live up there, you'll get senior FAST. There are always 25-30 pilots at the top of both the F/O and Capt list who live there, but you will move into the midrange bid holding positions quickly.

jig, check your PMs.
