Why?
Just as you say not many AS pilots will go to SFO, I don't think there are any VX guys commuting out of ANC. Maybe 1 or 2 guys originally from Alaska who may want to bid back home. PDX maybe 25ish guys and SEA about 50ish? At best?
And as for us NY based folks who face a very likely base closure and either 2,000nm+ commutes or uprooting of families and moving them west coast, it's not a rosy situation. And they'll probably displace us to SFO/LAX.
