You will be doing 5/6 day trips. 4 will probably be the shortest trip. Yes you will do the occasional day trip. Living in base has its perks although. Sun country currently does not fly reserves as much as a normal airline. You might fly a couple days a month on average. The busy charter months you might fly a little more as all the open time can’t or won’t be all picked up by the line holders.
Now that all the dead head is paid at 100% and all block time is paid at 150% open time will be scooped up even on the trips where you might deadhead 4 legs to fly 1.
