Chances of any domicile are high right now. They choose what they want to offer to the class, but the last bid had openings in all bases for FOs.

Position/base bids seem to happen 3 times per year here.
The unfilled spots go to new hires I guess at any order of availability as the company seems fit. But here is where the FO effective March 2 position bid fell:
Base/positions filled/positions available/estimated lines

SEA 606/816/587
SFO 88/121/91
PDX 221/226/163
LAX 204/237/188
ANC 137/149/107
320LA 62/129/65

Your mileage WILL vary with the estimated lines!
It seems plausible that you could hold realistic hope to hold ANC in the subsequent bid or two if you don’t get in class.

Good luck, but don’t forget other carriers that operate in ANC as strategic options too.

Appreciate the info. That is very encouraging.

A new hire in my training wanted ANC but got LAX initially. He was able to get ANC FO on the most recent bid, effective in March. He should finish up OE near the end of January, so should only have to commute for a month. Seems like you would get it initially or soon after.

Unlikely, the next bid will probably be further reducing or even completely closing the LAX Bus base.

The next bid will not be closing the LAX Airbus base.

Well, that’s almost as many answers as there are to that question….
