In my experience AS does change the planes out to all PAX flights when they see the loads build. June is a long ways away. Let's see what AS does over the next few months.

As I was expecting. It's a deal.
Actually, I think the pace will--overall--be slower than last year's Cabbage Do. We are covering a wide swath of Alaska, but we're leaving plenty of time in between the activities so we don't really have to hurry anywhere.
In fact, we can even make time to drop by the Safeways in Fairbanks (and their subsidiary, Carrs, in Anchorage) and watch them unload their trucks, just to keep you happy...

May do the 24-hr cancel, or may risk 15K miles.
The seat map looked totally wide open for these flights.

Jon Dun said "Nome man is an island"; we need to help jackal out. I am hopeful, but not certain, at this point.
(No not John Donne, he said something similar, though...)

I'll be communicating with Alaska (Missy et al.) soon about the best way to handle our unique needs (combination of award tickets, revenue tickets, etc.).
