If you are on probation and cannot make a LC or SC trip because you are at home and unable to get to your base, I can almost guarantee you that it will lead to termination. They have had too many instances of pilots trying to game the system, which resulted in GS being handed out when a reserve way by PWA definition available.

Just spend the few hundred bucks a month and save yourself the stress. Plenty of good food joints and sights to scope out while sitting reserve in almost every base we have.
