Rarely did I drop a trip to work in the reserves and I was doing 9-10 days a month at my unit.
If I was so involved on the reserves or guard that I was needed there three weeks of every month, I never would have applied for an airline job. But hey, that's just me.
You don't get paid by the reserves unless you're on some type of orders. I never did reserve stuff for free. I'd suspect new hires don't either.
