Thanks in advance,

Airlines have a callout for reserves. At my airline, it's two hours. I'm not sure what the average is. Some airlines have "ready reserve" where you sit in the crewroom waiting for a phone call to fly.
I live at my base, and as such I sit reserve at home. Much better than being in a crashpad. If you don't live within your airlines callout time you will need to move there or get a crashpad/hotel and stay there.
