If you are sitting reserve then you are sitting reserve at the airport for about 12 hours. If you are doing a run during your three weeks on, then you will be going between whatever airports you are flying between and then airline home. Ottawa-Bedford is the "popular" run right now. ;-) No home standby, nice try, we live and die being able to get a backup aircraft somewhere if the primary aircraft breaks. If you are sitting "hot" reserve at the airport and you get a callout to recover a broken aircraft or a special for UPS, DHL, etc you usually have 20-30 min to get engines turning.
