We start ANC to ATL in May. My guess is the MSP crew will take it down South from there...

It's even easier to fly from the back seat! Once the flaps come up after takeoff, I'm deadheading. My only job is to drink coffee and decide when to toss the free crew meal in the oven. Livin' the dream.

I almost forgot to mention that there is no flight deck door. We use the whole second floor so I can stretch my legs and take a whiz as often as I like. Also, taking a 30 minute dump is always an option. Gotta love that!

I also heard the freighters are still making big money, especially with CRAF contracts. The comments from RA might be for public consumption to appease the investment community over 4Q losses due bad hedges. They like to see you do "something" in response to a loss. We'll see if it really happens, or if they are replaced with something else. As long as gas is cheap they are capable of making a profit. Moving the operation out of ANC might make sense.

The only time that's not an option is if it's single pilot ops.
