BL if I'm gatewaying from a small airport in Easter NC, OAJ to ANC can I expect a confirmed ticket all the way to ANC? Or will they potentially get me to another location to link up with a company aircraft IOT get to ANC? Also I thought it was business class or better....not coach?
Business class or better is for international flights that are part of the pattern. (And also for duty days over 16 hours.)
Gateway is coach, with a few rare exceptions that will only confuse this conversation.
In your scenario they might commercial you to CVG or ORD and put you on a company airplane to ANC, which most of us would prefer since the back seats in a 74 are way better than 22B in a 737. In any case getting you to ANC is their problem, not yours. No one at Atlas is jumpseating to a crashpad.
