They would be lines (not pbs) of locals and two days.

I'm guessing reserves wouldn't really be an issue. If I was a commuter and company came out with this I'd pick up my phone and help out to make sure my driving to work continued.
Careful what you wish for...
In addition to the reserve issue, virtual domiciles seriously dilute both the available pairings at the hub, and the flexibility to construct efficient pairings.
I'm not sure whether my QOL would be better with a virtual domicile at home, where I'd have very little schedule choice, vs a modest commute to a hub with a diverse selection of quality trips.
And if I lived in a hub, I sure wouldn't want my pairing pool getting diluted.
Virtual domiciles would certainly provide a great benefit to a tiny handful of very senior commuters who live in select outstations. The benefit to everybody else is highly questionable.
