The multiple short trip schedules can be nice if you live in base. A lot of commuters like to get the longer trips so they only commute once. Its pretty common to end up back in Anchorage for at least a day mid pattern on a layover which is nice.

If you get hired into the 76, you can usually commute on company planes direct to Cincinnati to avoid some imputed income tax and a painful multi leg commercial flight. They have some 76 lines flying out of Asia that start out as a deadhead over. You can ride company planes for that out of Anchorage and not lose any days for the commute. May actually gain some time off since the schedule for that has to be built based on a deadhead on day 1 of your schedule from your base(Cincinnati) and a deadhead back to arrive at your base on your last day. Once the schedule is built you can change to a deadhead originating and ending in Anchorage giving you more time at home due to the shorter deadhead.
