Here’s the right one:

New contract negotiations start next year?
Anyone have an online copy of the agreement? How many hours hard time in the seat are guys seeing? Also where do the new hires get based on average?

Sorry, bad joke.
Nobody really knows how these bids will turn out but there are also AS pilots, even some PDX-AS pilots that want SFO.

The politician said you could see Russia from parts of Alaska. It is true, there are a pair of islands a couple of miles apart in the Bering Strait. One is part of Alaska. The other is a part of Russia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diomede_Islands

I would guess that "transoceanic" for contract purposes more generally refers to long flights and long duty days requiring augmented crew, and Hawaii from the west coast does not require those things, so it is specifically exempted.
