No problem whatsoever.
Federal law requires, with no ambiguity, that employers give you time off for military reserve duty. There are almost no practical limits on this, and airlines have lots of reservists in their pilot ranks so they are accustomed to it.
You can do 2 days/month or 20 days/month, 2 weeks/year or 40 weeks/year, and you are good-to-go with the airlines.
