After 1 year is up you can return to the airline on year 2 pay, but will still be on probation, which is no big deal if you show up to work on time.

You should be able to swing 4-5 days a month in the unit. If you get hired by SWA you'll probably not want to add to time away from home doing the USAFR. You should consider a non-flying IMA, ALO, or CAP job just to complete your 20 years. That way you avoid the AF BS, whisch is a lot less in the USAFR anyways.
