Yes. If you can't sit reserve at home (which you can't) - it will destroy your soul. 2 hour callout so you have to fly in for a block that starts at 4AM (which means the night before) - you have to either get a hotel room, or a crashpad, sit there all day, and do nothing. And for a 5 day block, you'll be there flying the scraps lineholders don't want to fly "hey, we have a 30 minute flight for you from IAH to CRP with a 5 hour sit, then deadhead back" (or when someone calls in sick which means you got lucky).

Reserve sucks even when you live in base. Commuting to reserve sucks even more.
