The ANC bid packets are ridiculous, though. 45 lines in a typical month, and only a handful are 17-day patterns. Some 60-day lines have 5 trips, some 30-day lines have 3. That's just crazy. I'm all about giving the guys who live in ANC choices, but they need to recognize how painful that commute can be WRT burning days off for those who commute. If half the base commutes, make half the lines 17-day patterns. Not much sympathy from the ExCo, either. (Here come the STN jumpseating stories - and yes, that really sucked and I'm glad that got fixed - but if they want to help curb attrition, that's an easy zero-cost place to start)

See.............
Training pay.
First year Guarantee.
Singing bonus paid for full longevity instead of amenable date.
No Profit sharing for 1-2 years, depending on DOH.
It is a long term trend around here and any attempt at change was met by the EXCO member KM's "What are you willing to give up?"
The good news is we will have a paradigm shift in the leadership by year end.

The fisticuffs will only start if you bid LAX.

what he means is that from here until about 3 years from now, expect all 747 vacancies to be filled by 767 guys that are more senior to anyone hired this year. unless there is a strong urge for them to fill ANC, they are going to be filling all vacancies in the lower 48. If you're currently in ANC, settle in. you'll be there a couple years at least. There is always hope though. looks like, three years ago, there was a hiring break from October to march in the 767 side so base vacancies in that gap could be filled potentially by guys still forced into ANC.
