If you only turn up at weekends when there is no flying?
I think most of our reserves are in trades that can play at weekends I.e. chefs/regt/stackers/medics.
Yes, fully aware of that, my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek. I think you've hit it on the head with your last sentence.
Surely a tech/pilot/WSO who has a reserve commitment and has recently left (say 6mnths to a year) would only need a minimum amount of training to bring them up to speed and be able to augment the regulars.
