I don't think that sitting hotel standby at home, in Memphis, has anything at all to do with saving the company money. First of all, the company buys those rooms, regardless of whether someone uses them or not, and secondly I'd assume that if you elect to sit standby at home, then you are responsible for your transportation, either to the AOC or at a minimum, to the standby hotel, so that the company's transportation can pick you up. So someone sitting standby at home does so because "there's no place like home." I may be naive in thinking that the company is just being kind, but are they really suggesting that someone actually sit the reserve at home, or are they just offering it as an alternative?
