I'm very junior having just switched jobs, but live near an outstation and you bet I'll bid for overnights at home just as often as I can. Its a nice city/hotel from what I'm told, with some occasional long layovers, so it will probably be a while before I get them. Alternatively my wife could drive down and enjoy a night away from home - date night!
I flew with a senior CA recently who grew up in different city served by the same airline; he'd spend the night at his parents house once a week. Not a bad thing at all.
