Not really true, we used to have a great mix of about 1/3 locals, 1/3 2 days, and 1/3 3 day trips, never even had any 4 days. Was able to be home everyday bidding only locals for years and years.

But they can cover the overnights with 2 or 3 day trips too.

No, not in SLC, that was kind of the point. We used to have a great mix of pairings in bases other than SLC, so the whole "outstation" excuse for horrible pairings doesn't really fly.

If it's low COL, a decent place to live and the same regional has had a base for many years, it will tend to accumulate senior pilots, since senior regional CA pay is decent enough if the COL is low.

The SLC domicile has a bunch of old guys (myself included). Out of the 350 or so total captains between the two aircraft, 235 are 45 or older. 150 of those over 50. Only 60 or so are under the age of 40. We've got another 50 FOs over the age of 45 also.
