You are working as well. Your job just requires that you be in a position to be at the airport in 120 minutes. Can you have a beer? No, then you are still working.

Don't waste it
Getting paid to have spare time is a gift. Don't waste it. One day you will crave free time and not be able to get any.
When I was on RSV I read a lot of real estate books, got my RE license and bought a handful of rental properties. Now that I have a full schedule again I wish I could get more paid RSV days to work on my own financial future instead of the company's.
My 2 cents.

monthly guarentee 
gotta love it. or 5 hours credit for airport reserve times 20 days a month equals 100 hours credit equals nice paycheck 
i'm soon to be back on reserve after this month's furloughs
oh well, i've been meaning to catch up on some call of duty 4. plus, gotta work on that "plan b" for when i get the f-notice.

I found routes to ride my bike where at any time I would only be as far as 30 minutes from my place. That would give me 30 minutes to get back to my apartment, 30 minutes to shower/shave/eat/etc, and 1 hour to get to the airport (30 minute drive).
Otherwise I would take care of errands, chores, etc. Any other time was your normal time-killing type stuff. When the call came through that I was released for the night, crack a beer. Living in domicile was nice on reserve.
If I survive the furlough cut, now I will have to commute to sit reserve for a loooong time
