The last two would probably be considered red-eyes, wouldn't they?
It's much more pronounced southbound, though:

In peak season, they add AS110, which is a 1:00am departure, for a total of five red-eye departures. (They also add some more evening departures northbound, but I don't have that schedule memorized.)
I drop family and friends off at the airport all the time, and I don't think I've ever dropped anyone off (or picked them up) during the day. They ALWAYS fly out and fly back on the red-eyes (probably due to price, but also because it usually works better for connecting flights).
I work nights at the airport, so late arrivals/departures usually work better for me for airport meet-ups.
Yeah, technically the last two northbound flights are red eyes since these flights arrive the next day. I usually view red eye flights as flights where a plane departs its origin at night time and arrives at the destination at the crack of dawn. So, if leave when dark and arrives at the destination at night it is a night flight for me not a red eye.
What are your working hours at ANC? We will depart ANC at 8am on the 5th, so we might be at the airport early enough to see whatcha doing at work
Right now am in SEA eating at Anthony's.
