A friend of mine was reserve CA for MESA and lives in base, we both live in the same place, I commute. As an FO, I held two end commutable 4 on 3 off schedules. I was home more than him.
Granted, it took a while for me to hold that. However, when I was on reserve, I was also able to hold two end commutable reserve lines. So my 11 (or 12, depending on the bid period) days off were ALL spent at home. At MESA. reserves only get 8 days off per month.
