In some instances when I was on reserve and commuting I would call and ask to get released to catch a flight home and they were usually cool with releasing me so long as they had decent coverage. It's good for now, until we go back to being undermanned.
Do you ever run into FDP accumulative limits such as 60 in 168? As far as I understand 117, if you are still on short call reserve after finishing a reserve assignment, your FDP continues until your not legal and/or contractual reserve period ends.
