UPS ANC reserve schedules
Here is a sample of what reserve schedules look like for those going to ANC as new-hires. The "RA" means the call-out time period (6am to 6pm). The asterisks (*) mean days off. As you can see, the blocks are 15 days long, followed by 13 days off. However, keep in mind that two schedules back-to-back with work at both ends can mean being gone for 30 straight days. Meanwhile, two back-to-back schedules with days off on the ends will give you a 26-day vacation.

The hard flying lines (non-reserve) mostly consist of one long trip, and one short trip per month. Which means two commutes every 28 days, as opposed to a reserve schedule with only one commute.

The -400 might be opening an SDF domicile in the future, but for now it's all Anchorage- and junior.
