Hopefully IF a couple of ANC vacancies are created AND CA upgrades making room for FOs, many will be back. However I've heard there's many dozens trying to get to ANC. PDX would be an easier commute than SFO, but it is also rather senior so highly unlikely. I'd think LAX would be an easier commute given the direct redeye year round and typically better wx/air traffic issues.

Sorry, I could have said that nicer way. (My wife just gave me a stinky look for being blunt on an unrelated matter.) PDX is a more senior base than SEA, so it's probably not a good alternative. Hope that helps.

There, that's better.

Isn't it crazy that ANC used the be the juniorest base? It kind of blows my mind that it's seniorish now.

Smallest base by quite a bit so not super surprising.

Picture, if you will, that SFO, the base that people are forced to commute to, the base that people can't wait to stop commuting to, was someday the most senior base. Would you be surprised? I would.

lol was thinking this exact thing. Some airbus brainwashing before going to Seattle is good for the soul.

Yes, I would be surprised if SFO ever becomes a senior base at this airline.

It wasn't the most junior base for years though.

Might be useful now, since they'll be able to bid airbii of one sort or another eventually.
