I checked the 'Sponsored reservists' website, searched for 'pilot vacancies' and got the following message:

Sorry, there are no vacancies matching your criteria. Please try another search.
I guess they're full up then, so recruiting's been a big success despite the apparently 'below market rate' salaries on offer.

Who are these people then, surely ex-RAF types won't want to come back for more of the same, and what kind of civil pilot is tired of the higher salary, nice hotels and decent destinations & wants to give it up for JPA, Akrotiri & MPA, & rather less salubrious accommodation?

Still, at least the RAF can get rid of some experienced tanker pilots which it won't need.
