Default How long will the MD last in ANC?

I am a new user here on the forum, hoping to get the skinny from the grassroots level.

I am FDX pilot returning from long term mil leave this winter and can hold the right seat of the MD in ANC or the 777 in MEM. I favor ANC but am unsure about how long I can hold a line before getting pushed to sit reserve from a crash pad. As a commuter to either domicile, sitting reserve in ANC sound more difficult/expensive. Re-training on a new airplane in the next 24 months doesn't sound so great either. I can hold a decent line in ANC for now, on the triple it looks like a secondary line only.

For that matter, would love any advice on those commuting from Bend OR to ANC. It is near the top of our list but seems remote. Thanks in advance for the perspective.
