Typically you bid for a start time for the entire month. So let's say you get 6AM. You go on call at 6AM and would have to be at the airport within 2 hours if you were to get called. Since you aren't guaranteed to catch a flight into your domicile during that 2 hours you have to fly in the night before. So now you're sitting in a crash pad or hotel waiting to get called. You're frequently on call for 4 to 6 days in a row. You may not get called. Now you're away from home and paying for a crash pad or hotel.
