Too many variables to answer the question. If you got hired as an MD-11 f/o out of ANC, long trips are possible (but not likely, unless on reserve, as they get grabbed by commuters pretty quick). AM out and backs are possible if you are based in MEM, but they usually are grabbed by people that want those too, so reserve is more likely, meaning any combination of trips that your aircraft type operates, but commuter-friendly trips being less probable (people don't want to give them up). Trips can be extended (into days off), normally due to broken airplanes or something unusual, etc., but you do get paid for it. Doesn't happen that often, in my experience (maybe three times in my 20 years to me) and there are options available if you really need to get home.
