Reserve isn't always choice in down times, but commuting is 100% a choice. The domestic people I know on RSV who live in domicile absolutely think it's a great gig.
Global reserves do have it worse. I'd definitely support treating all reserves the same.
No dog in this fight as I'm nowhere near reserve and am not familiar at all with whether or not it's decent or terrible: but there is no way in God's Green Earth 90+% of system reserves are local considering around 50% of the airline commutes.
