at AE when you are on reserve you still get 11 days off a month that are usually either 2 or 3 days off in a row. You can still live in CLT if you want to but you might have to travel up to ORD on your day off. As you get more senior on reserve you can bid either for open trips or ready reserve that has a late start in the day. So that way you can travel up to ORD the morning you start work instead of the day before. I live in NY and was based in SJU for a year and was able to do this. I was only on reserve for about 2 months and only had to commute to work the days before maybe 3 or 4 times but I was really lucky and the JFK-SJU flights you never had to compete for the jumpseat.
