What type of reserve? What's your callout period? If you have a 12 hour call out, sure I can see how you would stay in PHX. But a 2 hour? Not a chance.
Need more info.
As far as tips, understand your company's commuter clause (if there is one) and use it to your advantage.
Six from the bottom on the 747. Solid Reserve. Get about 4 short-calls a month and spend more time in landing class than the cockpit. I do make an effort to pick up trips but only able to pick something up 1% of the time.
