all reserve is long call convertible to 6 days of short call a bid period. I average less than two a month. If you do get short call you need to be within three-ish hours of report, to any of the three nyc airports. You will be able to sit reserve at home
Something to keep in mind with the 220 advice, it may not always be that over staffed. My experience and that of others I’ve talked to is that on most fleets, if you are on call you will get called. The reserve setup at DAL is not bad at all when you are driving distance away at home.
