At SkyWest it's possible. Some bases such as SBA and SBP are nearly 100%local (one day) trips. The other bases usually have a small percentage of local only lines. Seniority would determine if you could actually get it.

Additionally there are continous duty overnights with show times usually around 2100 and release times the next morning around 0800. These involve a flight from the hub to the outstation, 5-6 hours at a hotel and then the flight back in the morning. At SkyWest this would credit you 5 1/2 hours pay for around 2 1/2 hours of flying. Other airlines may handle the pay differently however.

I did the CDO or standups as we call them for nearly 2 years as an FO, and can say I was at home every single day.
