This was one of my biggest disappointments with the new contract. At a few GMM meetings I got the impression ANC commuting was very high on their radar and that they're looking into it. Limiting P3s would've been the ideal way of handling it.
Instead they incorporated a 24-hour double-booking lock?
So once again, someone poops and everyone must wear a diaper.In the meantime:
FRM: DoNotReply@upsdotcom
SUBJ:Bumped from UPS**/03Oct16 SDFANC
MSG:Please check Flt Ops Web or call Jumpseat Desk 180022*** for info.
I have pages and pages of this notification saved on my phone.
I'm very happy about us hiring more pilots but I suspect commuting to/from ANC will get even harder. :-(

There will be plenty more chances with only 40 747 captains on this bid. That'll get them through the first 3 planes but not much beyond
Still good news.
