I commute, so far it hasn't been bad. I commute in the day of and back on the last day. You're reserve schedule will depend on how well you know how to use pbs. So far every month I gotten the reserve days I asked for. I always bid to work reserve for six days and then have three days off between reserve periods which is nice. I know some people who are more senior than me haven't been as lucky simply because they put some odd restrictions into pbs.
