It is all very complex and intertwined - especially when you start talking about moving to/from ANC.

Having said that.....I could be wrong, but I believe there is an exception to Hyperone's statements/quotes of the CBA Section 6 above - IF you fall under the 2006 ANC LOA - read the second paragraph of the "preamble" to the LOA (paragraph prior to paragraph A):

".....those same pilots shall be allowed to relocate from and to the United States mainland...."

and


".....The cost of a relocation back to the United States mainland shall be limited to the cost of the actual move or the cost of a move to Memphis, Tennessee, whichever is less."

which implies that you could be paid to move somewhere OTHER THAN MEM upon returning from ANC - having satisfied the requirements of actually moving TO ANC in the first place - AND living there for the full 36 months.

I could be totally whacked....but that's how I read the 2006 ANC LOA.

WARNING: Call/email both the company AND ALPA again to confirm all this before bidding anything with an "APC understanding"

AFW, and irapilot, thanks brothers for excellent guidance. What u said was basically what I understood (with the exception that excess relos don't get a crash pad move). I will undoubtably contact Anita and the union again and make sure to have my answer in writing before I bid.
And yes the 757 would definitely work, just not sure I could stomache havng to carry my bags up the stairs to the flight deck. I'm a spoiled international premadonna whoseego might not fit in a narrowbody!

Cheers brothers
