Default Regional FO to USAF reserves

At a pilot convention the last couple days I was advised by several major pilots to consider joining the Air Force Reserves. They said I would make way more money combined with the regional job, and have an excellent backplane if the airlines decide to throw me into the street. So far Ive learned that reserve slots are highly competitive and hard to get, that I would have to go on military leave from ASA for pilot training but I would still keep my seniority and flight benefits til I get back. Im not too sure yet about making the move but I am gathering information and considering it, especially when they told more Ill make significantly more money. Any information or advice from you guys would be great!
