Thanks.
The way ANC 74 flying is right now you might be able to get away with only one hotel room a month at the start of your 14 day block. Spend the rest on the road. Not sure why you would buy a plane ticket, unless you are living somewhere that makes commuting on company iron totally unpalatable. Reserve up there used to be a sweet deal senior guys would grab in the summer so that they could spend the summer fishing for salmon on the company dime. Nowadays, there is more flying than could ever be covered by available pilots.
