I commute from SMF. I keep a crash pad in NYC. Every so often, if I have at least 3 or 4 people in front of me on long call and the weather's nice in NYC, I'll hang out at home. It's rare, though. 90% of the time, scheduling assigns you a trip or a short call so you gotta head out there. Once I'm there, I just stay for the rest of my reserve days.
Like the others said above, don't even think about messing around while on probation. Just get a crashpad and make sure you're in NYC. Give yourself at least one backup flight, but ideally two!
Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.
