Can't help with ANC specifically, but AS is NOT a commuter friendly airline in any way, shape, or form, whether it's the uncommutable pairings that start early and finish late, the inefficient pairings that result in 12-14 day off lines, the line bidding, the lack of straight cancellation pay requiring you to still be in base to be paid for a cancelled trip, the terrible reserve rules, the only 11hr long call, etc, etc, ETC. AS simply does NOT have the work rules that every other major airline has that benefit commuters.
