Does anyone have any strong hints from flight ops if new hires will be assigned HK when they prefer MEM? Is their anything in your contract addressing this issue? I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, just curious.

At that time, the MEM assignments were 727 FO or 727 SO depending on the luck of the draw for your class and your SSN within that class.

To my knowledge, no one was forced to take a ANC assignment they didn't want.

YMMV.
