Good move to select the 757 to operate these services, since buying or leasing used 757s will be much cheaper than buying or leasing new frames with similar capabilities, such as the A321.
The Anchorage fuel stop has proved profitable for the 747 freighters now for years.
it is not for profitability reasons the several dozen 747 freighters stop over in anchorage, it is for refueling and for the ability to carry more freight instead of fuel for nonstops from china and japan to the united states. Also, crew staffing is easier to handle using Alaska as a stop, to change crews and to fuel up. No ten hour plus flights necessitating extra pilots this way. Someone may point out that FEDEX regularally flies nonstop in triple sevens from china and japan to memphis. This is true. This aircraft is designed to do this and still carry a huge cargo load. Not the 747 can do this.
A lot of people are going to wonder why they have to fly way out of the way to get to Japan.
