ANC is my THIRD domicile, in just over 3 years at UPS.
Which one do you think that I should have moved to ? All of them ... I'd have 2 houses to sell you then.
And 2 move packages to collect ... what a bargain !
Actually, I did move to the first on my own. It didn't work out so great when I got displaced again and again. So as much as I hate to commute, there really isn't a much better choice ...
Imagine if we all did live in base ? That would have worked out great for UPS when Redoubt blew ash and closed the airport at the second largest crew base in the system. It was pretty convenient having commuters then wasn't it ?
And by the way, I still have to drive a car to work like the rest of the people !
