You can bid around it, early shows/late finish will be fine. Also you can sit SC reserve anywhere in SD county.

Sure it can't be adjusted to your home's value but it will go up. I'd encourage anyone to open up Zillow and check the housing prices anywhere remotely close to the airport and do some math. The rest of this post is just as false as what I've addressed. Other than the fact that most pilots at AS don't care that a lot of people will be displaced from their bases. Even though some were forced down to SFO on the last reduction bid. It's wild that the pilot group is cheering this on.
It's not going to be much better or worse than any of the other AS bases. ANC is it's own kind of special but sure isn't cheap either.
There's no point in arguing about domicile shuffles, that's a company business decision. The only pilots at the company who might have any influence on such decisions is the SEA/MEC crowd, and apparently they've been able to block the SAN base for many years. Of course people who live in San Diego county are happy, everybody gets their turn in the barrel in this industry. Don't need to feel bad when it benefits you (because it won't always).
