In the narrowbody categories there are lot's of short trips that popup due to various reasons. Another option if your looking to be home is to get involved with the training department. Get some time on the jet you want to be on and then apply to become an instructor. They will be in perpetual hiring mode over there for years to come. Then you'll be home every night. Typical rotation is 2 month in the training department and 1 month line flying. You could do that till you have the seniority to hold the shorter trips then go back to flying the line.
