Is EWR-ANC ever available on miles in J?
 
With international summer trips likely canceled, looking to stay domestically.
EWR-ANC has wide open availability in Y, nothing in J for any dates.
Is this a route that gets any opening at all, or is history not a guide any more in this environment?

You're talking (historically called) saver space? Very rare.

Don’t get your hopes up about this route (EWR-ANC) actually operating this summer. I’d love to see it but I am not optimistic.

It's wide open in July, every single day for 100k miles each way.

I read somewhere that United filed for relief to delay Alaska service until July 6th? Not sure if there's an update.

For FAI, did not see ANC

Check post #2492 from the COVID Schedule Reductions thread (sorry, I don't know how to link a specific post in another thread to another post). Made sense to me because FAI was requested on 04/13/20, so I assumed that since the information on ANC was dated 04/20/20 the powers that be went back and realized they needed to cut further so ANC and the handful of other cities were the afterthought.

FYI, United requested more service suspension exemptions from DOT today:
-they want to suspend Anchorage until July 6
-they want to suspend Key West until July 6
-they want to suspend Santa Rosa until July 6
-they initially requested to suspend San Juan through May 6; they now want to extend that through June 4

Have not seen any reports on the status of the earlier or this later request

Don't be surprised if you get schedule changed onto EWR-DEN-ANC during (likely) this weekend's schedule upload.

Totally called it ... However Alaska still has the strict quarantine measures in place so I am doubtful tourists will be allowed to go this summer.
