Rose colored glasses aside, it seems like the common theme is that this place is a stepping stone unless you want to retire living in PDX and that I will be giving up “seven figures” if I stay here for the next 38 years. Tough to determine if this is hyperbole or the reality of retiring here.
Regardless, I am stoked to be here and the experience has been very positive so far!

Next, don’t take any career advice from these forums. You do you, and don’t worry about what others say/think. The truth is no one really knows in this career. Just ask the old school United guys who left Alaska and got furloughed from United for 10+yrs…

Trying to get back to Anchorage
Hey all, 3000TT military dude looking to get back to Anchorage with my family. Just put my app in for Alaska this week and hoping for a call. I understand assignments are based on age at Alaska.
What are the chances of being based out of ANC following indoc? Failing that, what is the commuting life like between ANC and the other bases?
