I'm no so sure about that. The entire reason UPS created the ANC domicile was to decrease unproductive block hours, i.e. deadheading to and from ANC from the lower 48. If the company were to consider moving flying out of ANC to a domicile in the lower 48 this would increase the number of block hours which would equate to more IPA jobs. Sorry but I fail to see more jobs as a detriment, regardless of one's seniority.
