Are you talking 4 PM departures to Asia along with the normal ones to the lower 48 or are we going to launch 4 jets a day - period?

Snap shot of a typical day this week:
5 Departures to/6 inbounds from lower 48
4 Departures to/4 inbounds from Asia
Not all these aircraft are ANC based MD-11 aircraft, some are MEM 777s. Also, some of the MD-11s might be flown by MEM crews.
But, that's the current level of activity in/out of ANC right now.

ANC isn't just a fuel stop / crew change. It's also a major sort facility. I've yet to see an MD-11/10, B-777, or A300/310 pass through ANC without opening the cargo doors, off-loading cans, and loading cans.
Until that starts happening, I think it's status as a thriving crew base is pretty safe.
