I’m a no vote without long call and non-contactability prior to a reserve assignment. 15 days off becomes 11 for commuters.
And no, I don’t choose to commute, I need to live where I am and work where I can. It’s one of the benefits of our profession.

First, you don’t know my situation. Second, commuting is an option, and for some a benefit, that shouldn’t be penalized.
We accept the pay cut that comes with commuting, but if the rules can be written that gives us as more time at home and still gives plenty of availability (like most airlines, even the bottom-feeder regionals) then my vote is yes.
We’re so over-staffed now that it could be done through more efficient scheduling alone.

A high percentage of reserve assignments don't change before the trip pushes. Why not have 50% (or whatever) long call OR at least not have to come in for the RAP once a trip is assigned to a reserve? It wouldn't hurt scheduling one bit. As far as not spending negotiating capital on it, or "you choose to commute," or other such nonsense, half the pilots here commute. If you don't, good for you. But why should half of us care what your* opinion is because you self righteously claim "just move to a base like me"? There are almost 5000 reasons why guys don't take your advice. And it's standard throughout the business.
*your = no one in particular.
