Can't get JA on reserve. Also can't get released to commute home either so maybe it's a wash. Seriously if the reserve rules were more commuter friendly or you wernt held hostage I'd bid reserve every time. Getting released on you last day later if you worked than if you didn't is a big oversight in our rules. Also if you were either assigned a trip or released on you last day upon return to base, like the FAs, instead of having to stick around for another x amount of hrs and reserve would go senior
