Averages are useless, the mean usually more accurate, but here still useless. Hopefully this shows a past history. Majority of the MD-11 hired directly to ANC. Almost all the rest of them are now displaced to ANC in either the MD-11 or 747-4 or probably soon to be. The 5 DC-8 F/O's hired in 2007 are ANC bound. Essentially, all of the 2007 hires will end up in ANC. The 727 is gone. The 747 classisc (100-200's) will be gone by Jan 2009. Around 90 of those crewmembers to be displaced. The DC-8 is starting to get parked. Rumors of between 6-8 in 2008 to go to the storage at Roswell (ROW) One went the other day (703) and they have scheduled another, but it hasn't left SDF yet. Rumor is to start displacing DC-8 crews now rather than wait.
Looks like 2008 is a clean up the crews year for the big musical chair dance we are going to hold. Of course, UPS getting 7 747-400's and 5 MD-11's this year, so ANC is getting bigger. Also, in 2009, UPS starts getting the first of the 27 new 767's through 2012 (6.5 per year average <g>)
