With that in mind, you may be able to do 10 or 11 short trips and one longer trip. You could also do the 6 days over a weekend (less weekdays missed) if you do a X-C. They do have rules about the length of the trip based on how the travel was paid (UTA travel vs MPA travel).
Did you have a non-airline civilian employer? My concern is not so much the 6 days a month so much as it is the weekday requirements and how to handle the civilian employer.
Is the potential civilian employer even legally allowed to ask me during an interview if I have membership in the US Armed Forces? My wife seems to think the whole concept of withholding from the potential employer during the interview my membership in the AFRES and the existence of this monthly service requirement, then dropping it on their desk on day one, is simply not gonna fly. I rather not deal with that kind of underhanded approach, but how am I supposed to feed my family if civilian employers refuse to allow Reservist from serving inside the hours of 9-5 Mon thru Fri?!¿
