FOs will move up to CA and that will create vacancies in other bases.

It's a nail-biting vacancy to say the least. I can't wait to see the initial. Perhaps many will withdraw. Perhaps it will be filled with only the newest in seat. Who's to say? Can't wait.

Exactly why I said what I said. If you have a SIDA for the airport you are at (DTW for example) you should be able to go on the ramp and get your bag. If you are at a different airport (MSP for example) then either the flight needs to be operated by the company you work for, or you need a crewmember or rampie to get your bag for you while you wait in the jetbridge. The TSA isn't going to fire you for using a yellow tag, they will get you for being on the ramp unauthorized. I don't commute, but I deadhead at least as much as a commuter commutes and this has never been an issue for me as long as I follow what I've typed.
I think by the letter of the TSA or SIDA law, that still doesn't work. Your badge only grants you access to the ramp in the course of your duties i.e. pre and post flight. Getting your yellow tag bag under a mainline jet does not fall under those duties. You are therefore no authorized to be on the ramp there. It talks about it in our recurrent sida training video. Do I think you'll get caught and fired, no. But I'm not willing to risk it.

It's because a reserve period (not ready reserve) has no daily credit if you're not used. You're still guaranteed 75 hours if you don't drop anything

I wouldn't say its "extremely" difficult. If you have at least one string of more than 2 days off, there's probably something (even if its just a turn) you can get added on to your schedule. I've done it the last 5 months in a row.
It makes for a busy month, but if you live in base and are money hungry...
