Is there a type of reserve where the pilot gets put up in a hotel near the airport, so that in the event he is needed, he is close by? If one all ready lived in MEM or close by, like within 30 mins of the airport, why put him up in a hotel in a city in which he has a house to stay in?
You only have a 5 hr sit on stby when you can get one of these rooms. Or your on a hub turn and that is usually less than 4 hours. The reason they are there is not to be used as a hotel but to be able to get a little better rest on the hub turn. as compared to a recliner...
