Commuting on reserve for me at XJT wasn't too bad. Utilized the aggressive pickup window to get trips, back when there actually WAS open time. Made sure to get the commutable stuff, and learned how to sleep in a 737 jump seat without snoring. Did this for SFO to CLE, EWR and IAH... get's old after a while, but before you know it- you're off reserve and enjoying the privileges of being a lineholder.
