As far as I'm concerned, commuting to reserve when you're brand new, to a domicile you don't want, is about the worst it gets in this business.
If SGU wants to set up a program to alleviate that,
while honoring seniority, then I am all for it. TDY takes care of the same staffing problem, but with positive space travel, parking at home, a hotel, and per diem to the new pilot that might be sitting reserve far from home on their own dime otherwise, or enjoying crashpad life. I think its a good idea.
