Thanks.

As per above, you will not sit in ANC on reserve, and this does not look likely to change in the foreseeable future. If I had it to do over again, I would not get a crashpad, but play the hotel game. This can get a little tricky in the summer, but is easy in the winter. I would, however, get a car. Ubers are expensive and unreliable, and of course you will be showing up at weird hours.

Oh okay. Yea I forgot about the option of jumpseating on company or other cargo aircraft. I would imagine jumpseating on pax could get challenging at times but idk.
And 2 to 3 hotels a month doesn't sound too bad. I wasn't sure how busy reserve lines kept there..

ie, line is 60 credit 75 guarantee:
drop 10hours: 50 credit paid 65
drop 31 hours: 29 credit paid 29
if you want to get back to 75 - yes then you have to do those 10 hours again. but, if you just want a better QOL f--k the 75 hours

To understand what’s going on with our pay, we have 2 factors actively being affected/manipulated: line credit and line guarantee. Line credit is the aggregate credit from the trips in your pay period (what you do). Guarantee is 75hrs. You get paid the higher of the two. However, things affect each one differently so you have to track both and compare to see what the outcome is after you make a change. There are specific situations where you can pick up a trip for X hours but not actually change what you get paid. Once you know how this happens you can avoid it.

DTW = easy. Pre covid delta had a bunch of directs daily. Also UPS runs a solid amount of flights too. Then you can drive it if it all goes south. Your QOL won’t take a major hit if you stay in DTW.
