Not really a myth..but also not really insurmountable.
Ramps 6, 11 and 23 work for airframes larger than a MD11, along with some (but not all) parking spots on Ramp 9. Wingspan is a limitation parking on the wings, but so is fuselage length and main deck door placement (fore or aft wing).
A 767-400 freighter would really be an ideal MD replacement, with a practically identical footprint and just 10% less cube with greater efficiency/fleet commonality...but Boeing isn't returning my calls right now.

The oft-rumored ICAO emissions-compliant 767X freighter would basically be a 764 with GEnx engines...but its vaporware. Something something MAX something...

On the Capt list? When were you hired? I'd have 40 below me on Z but couldn't even hold SDF 74 Capt. There may be some cases where certain year groups slot into the 74 domiciles with more seniority, but in general, both ANC and especially SDF 74 go very senior on the Capt side.

No one wants to commute to ANC, plus ANC has multiple reports in a month. Quite of few CA from the 74 went back to Z

however if one is willing to move, I think it provides the best QOL.
