Default FDX ANC crash pad

Just activated in ANC and was hoping to not need a crash pad, however I messed up bidding next month so I am on reserve. Think I will get some trips and reserve schedules after the new year.

So I am looking for a crash pad. Any leads please pass them on.

Thanks

I had a custom line for December, and guess what? That's right, 12 days of reserve.

I'll need a crashpad for the last half of the month. Any recommendations are appreciated.

How did you only get 12 days of reserve?

The downtown ramada inn is only $50 a night total. So If you get launched part of the reserve block might work out of $ wise. They give transport both ways too. Plenty of places to walk to the eat.

I have vacation in Dec, 7 days. Expanded it and used buffers. Can't expanded or use buffers on the 24,25 dec. Ended up with 5 days of reserve 23-28 Dec. Great! So much for vacation in Dec! Was just looking at leveling one that time, I am last on the leveling at number 21! How many do they need on reserve? Reserves are not getting used anyways. Plus, how many 2-4 day trips do we have a day in ANC, one maybe two. Sitting in a hotel over Thanksgiving raises the *****ing level! Going to try and drop them in a few minutes. I am sure I will get denied! Insufficient Reserves!

I bid a pay-only line with 16 days off. I'm 50% up in Anchorage, so I could have had Christmas off if it wasn't for a training SNAFU in November preventing me from bidding for December. Ugh.

Dorothys bed & bkfast. She'll pick you up & drop you off. No car required. She used to (at least between 2006-2010) have a policy cap of max $ per month, eg @ 60 some per day, after 5 or 6 days you're good for the month even if stuck on reserve for more than the 5-6 days. (907) 240-1886, (907) 336-4248

Thanks, I usually use the Inlet Towers, with a winter rate of $78-ish per month, maybe the Ramada is the way to go.

The Slippery Salmon next to the Ramada has great food. You also get a discount on breakfast. They have been nice and letting me check out late for an afternoon launch. Rooms are about same quality, maybe a little nicer than the Inlet Towers.

Tried dropping last day of reserve on the 28th, denied. Calling my Fleet specialist or whatever they are called now. Max open is 10, there are 18 on reserve! BS
