ANC pilots do fly to Hawaii.
If you DM me I’ll send you a bid packet so you can see the lines.

When you write “never get in,” that must be dramatic, theatrical, and known to be absolutely false. Anchorage pilots will move, retire, upgrade in and out of base, and some FO’s will leave for FE and UP. That will provide many FO positions in the future. The ANC base is likely to grow 9% over the next 3 years. Not a lot but that would likely provide at least 30-50 positions during that period of time. Reserve in ANC goes out of seniority, as it is much more palatable then the other bases.
So yes, a new hire would likely hold ANC in 8-18 months, as for “never” being able to hold ANC, well that is just purely a false statement, written to discourage and detour applicants. He wants you to know, he is very unhappy here, and if he is really unhappy, well without question, so will you.
