How long is your commute? I'm coming from PDX which is a 3+ hour flight. Now that the red-eye is gone there is a sizable chunk of time during the afternoon-evening that I can't make a 12 hour callout, so sitting long call at home is risky (I have been called while sitting long call going into my last day of reserve. They called me at 19:10 Pacific for a 09:20 central report; that's 12:10 from call to report - thankfully they still had the red-eye at that time). I don't like the stress of sitting at home knowing that if I got called I may not be able to make it, and I don't like commuting out to sit long call - so, yes, I am ready to be done with reserve.
