I am a commuter sitting reserve in DTW now going on 5 months. I have a crashpad here which is a fully furnished apartment right by the airport with my own bed and only pay 150 per month. I brought an old junker car up here and honestly could not get by without it. I always go home on my days off but basically live in my crashpad. I always fly in the evening before I start and fly out the afternoon of my last day on call. It sucks but I refuse to move here. My commute is only one leg, but I am limited on flight options (only two flights a day to and from). If you want to do the commute on reserve its possible, just a pain. I have had my days where I wondered what the hell I was doing but have gotten over it. If you do commute on reserve, I would definetly say you have to have a car at your crashpad to stay sane. Just my thoughts...
