If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears.
If you don't want to live in base then do yourself a favor and go to another airline. It's possible to do which is the problem. You will be miserable. It takes roughly 9-10 hours to do a 5 hour turn assuming there is no delays. All of those multi day trips are taken by high seniority people. 95% of what you would be doing is dayturns with an occasional 10 hour 3 day.
Don't do it
