Short call
I’m roughly 3.5 hours from my base and with being on SC I’m wondering what options are coming? I would normally sit about half way to base, but with my state shut down all business is closed for the most part. So the company expects me to sit in the airport all day possibly getting exposed or twiddle my thumbs in my car in some random parking lot? Flights to my base are all but cancelled. It’s been years since I’ve been on reserve , but I’m sure others are in a similar position. Ideas?

I think the company expects you to be available for short-call. That's about two hours from your base.. (or one of the airport is your base has several like NYC). How you do it is up to you. I would think other people get hotel rooms and relax there.
