If you fly Z and do intra-Europe, some people try to stay on their normal body clock. If you land at 6am, it may only be midnight or earlier at home.
Asia is basically 12 hours different so if you fly at 10pm, that's 10am on your clock.
If you're talking strictly day/night local, then Z is pretty much all nights. The MD flies a lot of daylight internationally.

Sorry for my assumption.
Z = 757/767 international
MD is the -11.
Different types of flying. The MD and 747 do the trunk routes and the 757/767 bounce around in theater with a couple crossings thrown in.
Saw your edit.
The MD does domestic and international out of SDF. Out of ANC, it's almost exclusively international.
You can't do more than 2 domestic legs on an international pairing so that really limits what the ANC crews do since ANC to anywhere is considered international.
