With it being such a big class, anyone have more than bottom 3? Perhaps bottom 10 spots?

If you are awarded ANC out of class, what is the QOL like commuting up there, say from S. California? I'm assuming a crash pad and an airport car is a must. Would it be preferable to move to the base?

Thanks.

As far as commutability goes, no one truly knows what the lines will be like until the bid packs come out next month.

Atlas flies between LAX and ANC often, FedEx flies OAK-ANC every night, and UPS may have something, I'm not sure. Trying to jumpseat SEA-ANC can be hit or miss as you are competing against a lot of commuters. I ran into a UPS guy who buys his tickets to avoid the cattle call.

If you did choose to commute then you could get away without a car if you mostly go to/from your crashpad and can walk to the stores. An Uber isn't going to be over $15 for most places close to the airport.

DM me if you need more.

Anyone know the age ranges of the last few classes. Any older guys getting hired?

I know a 60 year who was hired in 2020. Age is not a deal breaker at all.

Thinking of posts in these forums. Pre-COVID had several age 60 to age 63. I perceive the cutoff is they wanted pilots to get out of training and spend a few months earning their keep before hitting 65.
