Av8or,
remember two things. 1st. The Lines will change. 2nd. What is a small problem now, will be a big problem in the future.
Me, I move to ANC to fly the Whale. But I have a big problem with the long nights. The cold you can dress for, but do nothing about the nights.
What is you want?? The chance to fly the 400 or the money?? And before I say good luck. You are locked for TWO years. And nothing says you will get out in two years either.

Ontario GM (Gear Monkey) is my choice number 3, so I think I’ll stay in ONT for now. While I’m waiting for the Shanghai domicile to open up I’ll just keep studying Mandarin – one day it’ll come to use…
I'll just start up a t-shirt business and might even work part time as a Wal-Mart greeter... That should keep me busy for a while...
I feel ya about dealing with the cold however as far as the “long nights?…”
What latitude is Anchorage at? Does N61º or so sound about right? Well, I’m a N67º ‘survivor’ so long nights probably wouldn’t bother me too much...
Heck, to me everyone who’s an Anchorage native is a Southerner…

Anyone have a notion when any bids for next year's 767-300 will be run. And where they might be based.
Off to office max to pick up more staples.

I try to stay away from baloney but I keep coming back to this message board – I must be addicted...

Well its all what you make of it. For me, I would rather not fly and be doing all of those things I talked about, even as a commuter. But that may not interest you and thats OK. I'm a bit tired of building my multi engine jet time. I dont think I'll ever get hired by a legacy carrier, so I dont need to build any more time. My poor old mother (bless her heart) still asks me if I ever want to be a commercial pilot. She says you have to go for your dreams! LOL!! I've tried to explain it to no avail. I had to disappoint her. Should have told her that I play piano in a brothel.

Piano player?
As far as ONT reserve - I'm sure I'd have more fun as a piano player in a brothel but until I've gotten hired at a reputable house of play I'll just stick to Red Roof racing...

Some over 75 over trips are just starting to happen but it is far from the norm. Adding up the higher costs I doubt you could come up with extra tickets especially in light of all the airlines raising airfares.

Anybody who would bid ANC when they could bid a flying seat in the lower 48 is just plain nuts. Good luck with the commute, every flight I've taken has been full and the crash pads and b&B are getting the same way.
Ok, ok , I'm not wanted, I get it!
Seriously, thanks for all the info. I just booked room 313 at Red Roof for the next 4 1/2 years...
Hey, is that Prozac pill FAA approved?
