Default Anyone commute to ANC from LAX?

What are the commuting options (year round) for guys based in ANC who live in LA?

Shared experiences / suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

If you are senior to me, you have NO options.

Otherwise, you can go on NWA daily in each direction.

I'll be about 78% in ANC, so I doubt I'm senior to anyone.

Hoping I can hold reserve there, drop some days every month, and take off to LA. No idea though what it will actually be like 6 months from now when I finish space shuttle, I mean md-11, training.

Thanks for the NW tip, going to look at their time tables now. Any idea if any cargo carriers make that run? I doubt it, but it's nice to be able to have a "sure thing" seat.

Very difficult commute. Spent 9 hours in Seattle last week trying to catch that 2nd leg.

NWA is obviously not predominately a cargo carrier, but that flight between LAX and ANC is only cargo 74s. NW has 4 first class seats on the upper deck plus the jump in the cockpit. There are usually a couple of jumpseaters on that route, but I have yet to see a guy get turned away due to a lack of a seat. Nothing is a sure thing, but as far as jumpseating goes it's as close as it gets. That is until the base closes.

UPS goes ONT to ANC. I'm not sure of how many and how often, but it's a nice ride.

GMT time daily, (weekdays). Pretty full ride heading that way due to all the ONT crews displaced to ANC.

Be Careful on relying on the NWA(Delta) cargo flt to/from LAX. Rumor has it their freight ops may go the way of the Dodo.

You can ride FDX from LAX to ANC by transiting OAK or MEM.
