For me, short call reserve was a QOL killer. In DCA I'd still be way down the list on short call, where as in PHL I'm a long call. Combined with the 50+ unfilled slots in PHL on the latest vacancy, I can't see how DCA offers a faster progression off short call.
IMO, unless you can't commute on the 12 hour call out for long call, I'd much rather be a long call reserve than a very junior secondary block holder in most cases.
