Yes. But as eatbabyseals posted, its not going to be simple. However, there are crashpads at base cities for those that want to do what you propose

I don't think that is a realistic option, Delta's main hubs are not close to San Antonio, so unless as suggested you want to live out of a suitcase in some grotty crash pad, I would look at alternatives, united has a major hub at Houston, that is a doable driving commute, that leaves you living where you are and travelling 3-4 times a week maybe less around 350 miles round trip.

You can be based in 1 city but live somewhere else. It is your job though to make sure you show up to where you need to be in order to start your flight. I have a friend who is based in Anchorage but used to come home to Cincinnati. He would then try to find flights back to Anchorage on the company's aircraft. If he couldn't then he would not come home to his family. So it is technically possible, but it can be difficult at times.

It is possible? Yes it is. It is recommended? No. There would be many circumstances in which you would have to get up super early to travel to your base, maybe even going the night before. Not saying not to become a flight attendant, but maybe look into other airlines.
