My philosophy on ONT vs. ANC - if you have heavy, international time, you will probably go to ANC. I've noticed the regional guys going to the 757. So, I guess if you want to go to ONT, it's to your advantage if you don't have the heavy, international time.

Not really much time in the pool...

Here's my Q: how hard is it to jumpseat to ANC? You get to reserve 10 days out, but can you get bumped?
Brown - I'd expect your phone to ring very soon.

Our contract says that if you are bumped off of the jumpseat that the company can not hold it against you. However, on probation you are not afforded the benefits and protections of the contract and Union.
The good news is that you'll probably be on reserve in ANC which means a 15 day block. You'll only have to jumpseat once a month. If you are a mil reservist you'll be able to maintain all benefits and credit for probation as long as you do at least 8 days of reserve. Commuting to ANC on probation is not the best scenario IMO. But you gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Do you think flying Freddy gave you any significant advantage with UPS? You guard or AD?

FWIW, I don't have any heavy time (just the 737) and the most of the international time that I have is down to the islands and the Dominican Republic and a lot of Mexico. Wonder if that is enough to get to ANC?
I will gladly take any position, but my family and I are hoping for Anchorage.
How long will I be on reserve in ANC?
Is it true that ANC upgrades could be less than 5 years?
Anybody wanna go in partners on a seaplane up there

congrats
Brown...congrats!
I took the pee test on 3/29. The next day my on-line app showed "you have an appointment at 802 Grade Ln on Monday April 23rd at 8 am." However, it has been over a week now and still no follow up call from HR. Hopefully I'll see you guys/gals on the 23rd.

You won't be able to hold reserve. The only long block schedules are reserve and it's going senior.
After the last displacement bid, the most junior capt. position up there went to a 9/00 hire. I guess in the future it could go less than 5 years since UPS didn't hire from 01 - 04.
Have fun in class and keep us updated!
