4/23 and 10/17, but those numbers are a moving target. The last few CAs to make it into ANC we’re all Sr to the ANC CA plug. Keep in mind the bid isn’t effective until June, I’m not sure if other airlines have the effective date 6 months out.

I think it's going to take a long time for anyone in either seat still trying to get back to ANC. Only a handful of ANC retirements this year and next. While there are some 4/23 FO hires that will be ANC based effective 6/24, there are also 4/23 FO hires that probably still have a decent wait from this point. Timing.

I could see a cargo wide body base someday, but not pax. As great as it would be I won’t be holding my breath.

The very last thing I'm concerned with is wide body flying.

Surfing sucks. Don't try it.

I doubt that I'm any more knowledgeable than you, but I was really surprised when I learned how short the range was (~3700 nm) for the 330 after the freight conversion. HNL-NRT barely makes the cut and anything beyond that would require somewhere like ANC. To me it sounds like something that could work out nicely, but I don't know

We flew to Beijing prior, but not sure how weight restrictions were if any. I can see some 330 flying out ANC as much as HNL and SEA.

No centre tank on the freighter, well the solitary airframe we currently have. Pax -200s obviously have them. As various aircraft come online there may be some variances.
