That's the hope, anyway
Current whale FOs on the other hand, who thought they’d be able to upgrade pretty soon might have to wait a few more years. The new SDF domicile means senior guys/gals will be coming over to ANC too. Once they can hold SDF they’ll simply switch like 75/76 guys do now.
That seems like a risky proposition IMO, signing one's self up for a commute to ANC with the hope that you'd someday be able to hold 747 SDF CA. That seems a "long game" well beyond bidding first available upgrade in ONT and bidding back to SDF the subsequent bid.
