Hawk,
I think you need to realize and plan/budget for the fact that there is no way to predict flight hours or pay in the ANG/AFRC. It will vary depending on your airframe, command, current budget (or continuing resolution in lieu of a budget) and the global conflict level. You can call every unit out there and ask for hours flown, TDY availability, funding etc... and those units can give you a historical or present day snapshot but that will be no indication of the future.
In the mobility world, a lot of people have made their active duty salary as a reservist for the past...decade possibly. That's been nice but no guarantee it will be around. Combat platforms probably had their hayday at one point as well. Just when you think you're in a routine and have things figured out, that's when the current way of doing business is changed by someone reinventing the wheel.
The competition is fierce for off the street hires in the ANG/AFRC. From reading your posts it seems like you definitely have some ultimate plans/goals in mind for where you want to end up and what you want to fly. Like previous posters have stated, you need to concentrate on becoming an Air Force pilot first, in any airframe you can. From SW WA I would target Portland, McChord, Fairchild and Travis. Those are all within your reach.
Good luck
