Besides the permanent fund dividend?

I think it was around $64,000/yr according to this post

Not a penny. There is a move package to get your trash up there and back, but you have to commit to staying there for 3 years or pay it back. They do nothing to aid you in selling or buying your home. It is a good deal if you have always dreamed of living in Alaska, but that is about it.

Every trip is international, so you do get the international override and per diem, but so does anyone flying out of MEM flying intl.

$64,000 was the PFD. You only get a move package with a 3 year obligation. No COLA.

Sideshow...

Why did you bid such a bad deal then, along with many others? You're a glass half empty kind of guy on the ipa forum; not surprising to see that reflected here.

Didn't bid it, I got displaced to it. As for dealing with brown, non-squeaky wheels get no grease and half full glasses like you get no water. YMMV.
