If you live in base, reserve on the East contract is great! If you commute reserve is ok. Short call and long call reserve. Short you need to be within hour and a half normal driving distance. Does not mean you have to be at the airplane in an hour and a half just should be that close to the airport. Long call is 10 hours which may or may not be enough time for you to stay at home and wait for the phone to ring depending on where you live. No hot standby at the airport like Airtran. You will fly a little but not much. Overall I didn't think reserve was all that bad except for myself having to commute to reserve. If I lived in base I would probably bid reserve instead of a line.
. West has a 2 hour call out (to parking lot) and 12 hour long call.
