I'm down.
Pretty sure the ER's that AS has don't have the auxiliary fuel tanks required for that amount or range.
The MAX, though, might be a different story.
I would love to see AS try Japan from ANC, or mount a return to Russia, but with all the focus on SEA these days I think it is a pie in the sky dream.
