The whole key is where you hang your hat - if you wear one.
If you can swing SC's at home, life can be/is grand. If you have to schlep to your domo, or if you have to get closer to it then reserve can get ugly fast. This is also dependent upon how many they assign you and how much open time is available. Some guys will fly to avoid SC, some will pick up SC's in order to avoid flying. Every base, every seat can be different.
Some seats/fleets get an idiotic amount of SC's while other's do not. Previously, I saw a lot more of them on the bus than I do now. But the Nov pay change might screw that all up.
