Thumbs up How do I read this paragraph?

American Eagle website:

"Reserve
New pilots are assigned reserve lines in which they are required to report to their domicile within two hours. Reserves can plan on an average of 11 days off per month."

Does this mean that new pilots only get reserve lines where they are pretty much on standby the entire time instead of assigned flights? I ask because I live in Oklahoma City and didn't really want to move (will if I have to for a job) but was thinking that doing a little reserve each month wouldn't kill me in another city. But, this sounds like the whole thing is reserve and living away from my assigned domicile is not feasible?? Is that last part right? If I get a Regional job, am I pretty much forced to move to domicile to save me a ton of headache?

Thanks!
