We've had multiple vacancy bids where he could go to NY if he desired.

How is it that everything bad in life is out of someone's control? If I were living in MSP, I'd GLADLY take reserve over commuting, and enjoy my time at home over the sure schedule and higher pay. However, I wouldn't be blaming someone else for the choice that I made to do so. Grow up, you're not a victim. Go cry to someone else about making $97,000 a year sitting reserve at home on 75hr guarantee.
