I don't live in San Diego but my buddies say they give themselves about 3 hours to get there and that usually keeps them safe on any unforeseen traffic problems. Being domiciled in LAX you are responsible to cover LAX, ONT, SNA, and BUR. As a line holder you can bid to fly pairings that start out of only certain airports, but your seniority determines what you'll actually get. The senior guys can usually hold all SNA if they desire. As far as being on reserve, you'll be responsible to cover all of the airports listed above.
