Best barometer is probably 2019, but new hires will go to a NB first and have some time to sort out what WB reserve utilization is like. That's the perspective of someone who lives in base. Obviously (hopefully) you don't want to commute to reserve any longer than you have to.
How often do they convert you to short call rsv? Im debating bidding in as a commuter, I have 9 flights a day from my city so getting to ewr isn't a big deal but I don't want to sit in a crash pad half the month.
