Wasn't ANC the junior captain seat either prior to or during the furlough?

ANC was junior prior to and during the furlough.
More recently the ANC base has consisted of people who were there mostly by their own choice. Their seniority could hold other places.
An increase in the ANC numbers may make it junior again. But for now the junior fleets are domestic (ONT, B757 SDF and A300). The schedules can be bad on the domestic fleets for someone who got accustomed to a senior FO schedule of one leg to the hotel internationally. I'm JUNIOR and I still avoid the domestic fleets, I could hold any of them.

Why commute to ANC when I can have a commercial deadhead out and in to my local airport? Nearly four years on the Whale and I could count my scheduled CML trips on one finger. I have three this week (yeah Peak
, why operate when you can CML!) I also have zero Jumpseat commutes in PP1701 which means my commuting stress level is about zero.Yes it's about schedule, and mine is better in SDF. I don't give a poop about where I layover (okay I'll skip OAK and take all the EWR you've got) and I'd rather have 12-14 hour layovers and get on with it and go home to play with my toys.

Wait till all the system preference bids get updated/changed in the upcoming weeks.

Completely agree with you about the commute to ANC. And it's only going to get worse with 82 more guys on this bid.
ANC cml, not so many. I wish ANC had half of what SDF does.
