The new ANC FO's will all be bidding for captain, so except for a couple senior people elsewhere, those 20 ANC captains will mostly come from upgrading ANC FO's.
There are not too many over-60 guys left who did not have the opportunity to go to ANC FO this time, so I don't expect but a few of those to jump on an ANC FO spot in the next bid. That will open up those seats to others.
I didn't take ANC FO this time, so I won't need Freightpups cookie recipe. I'm expecting it will be 12-18 months before a bid comes out where I can hold a lower-48 FO, bidding in the low 900's. That's more than enough time for Freightpup to make some more pups <g>.

After the dust settles.....
On the ANC -400, there are over age-60 F/Os correct ?
Are there any over age-60 Capts. ?
I haven't kept up with all the legislation, but on Int'l flights, no two over age-60 pilots can fly together, is that correct ?
Inquiring minds would like to know, thanks

They can be paired together, however the 3rd pilot must be under 60. He can be in the bunk and the 2 over 60 guys can legally be paired together enroute. I'm not sure if the under 60 pilot must be in a window seat for the takeoff and landing. IPAMD11FO has a good link with a better and far more accurate interpretation of the law than I've got.
Cheers,
