Ryan and Grant are 135's with 2 on/off. It'll take a bit of sonority to get based in ANC, regardless of your TT. Not sure about Everetts 135 schedule, but they only operate 135 out of Fairbanks. Everetts ANC base is only 121. ACE is a 135 based in Anchorage, but their schedule is 4-6 days a week and not close to what you're hoping to make yearly as an FO. Ravn, NAC and Everetts are 121 home every night and will be your best bet for 80k a year, but not a 2 on/off schedule. I think Guardian is 1 on/off?
It's likely you're going to have a tough time finding a left seat gig making 80k without a ton of Alaska experience on the books. Most operators up north value Alaska time over TT.
