When someone learns something, please share.
I'm certainly not expecting the co. to do so anytime soon... better 2/3 of my crew is in the hotel in ANC scratching their heads, too.

Many flights from several airlines cancelled today. Alaska now flying southbound to Seattle. The volcano has quieted down somewhat, but the winds aloft forcast for tomorrow come much closer to Anchorage. If the activity increases again, could mean more delays and/or cancellations. Some flights flew to Fairbanks today, but the crew was in VMC conditions during daylight hours to "See and Avoid" with a reroute further east than normal.

Please be careful with the rumors here, you can go here: FlightAware > Pilot Resources > Airport > Anchorage Intl Airport (Anchorage, AK) [PANC/ANC] and check to see if your connection is actually inbound and get a jump on schedules/jumpseats. Flightaware will often have this info long before our people will share it.
Looks like the ash is settled and no further ash warning issued. Things could start moving quickly.
Looks like some operators are planning east and westbound flights tonight.
