Personally, I would rather sit on reserve as a narrowbody CA for years if I only had to drive 15 minutes to get to work.
As someone who sat reserve, living in base as a NB Capt for years during Covid, I would rethink that strategy under our current reserve rules. It is pure harassment and you will get tired of the buffoonery quickly.
