I've been on the 74, and for an Anchorage local I'd definitely ask nicely if you could defer for a 74 class. Just explain that you think it would be best for both you and the company since you live there but that you would take a 76 class if it's not possible to defer.
I have asked some 76 guys how senior the Asia flying goes and was told its a mix of seniority. However looking at the latest bid awards it doesn't look like any very junior guys got it. If you were hired onto the 76 soon you should move up in seniority quick since most of the growth next year should be on it.
