My (and I assume Denny's) assumption is that marcal wants to maximize pay. With the new reserve pay system and living in base he should be able to do that.
My assumption is that he will be on reserve. Int'l category reserve at home opens him up to hard time trips on his off days. He doesn't have to take the crappy greenslip, he can wait for the better one. In base reserve bidding like Denny said gives him a level of control on his life that commuters can't even dream of...It is pseudo-seniority - living in NYC.
