Why would you want to bid ANC? I guess you must be single, or shortly on your way!!!
Maybe you haven't heard but the commute up there can be tough. There aren't alot of trips that start with a D/H.
With the commute you can figure half of the time you need to leave a day or so early for a seat up here (have you not seen AM's slides). On the way home sometimes you may need an extra day to get a flight out of here. That adds two days to an already long two week block from home.
If you look at the grand scheme of things the commute can actually add another two weeks to a month away from home a year to work out of ANC, and thats commuting out of the lower 48!
Thats a pretty small price to pay to tell youre buddies you fly a 747.
