I'm wondering what reserve life is like? How senior do you have to be to get on reserve at IAD as an FO as opposed to EWR? How often do you get the minimum 2-hour notice? I'm a little over 2 hours out from IAD and would be able to easily make a 3-4 hour notice without resorting to a crash pad.
My brother in law lives about an hour out of EWR and has offered to let me crash whenever if I need to cover reserve up there. So, options.
