Except you post as if everyone lives in MEM. Obviously we don't and not getting used on reserve sure doesn't mean we're "enjoying our time at home".
Many of us also don't bid reserve by choice. It's all we can hold. If flying the line is so tough for you, bid reserve (since it's such a cake walk). Maybe you have the choice.
