I was under the impression they didn't get allot of air time, and where only called on in emergency's/as a reserver.

Most USAF Reserves and USN Reserves in aviation are airline pilots, thus they get more flying time than the active duty folks. Their USAF or USN flying is, therefore, dedicated to training on the tactical parts of their mission. Our reserves now get called up quite frequently. On the navy side of things, I worked with many a reservist passing through to get carrier qualified during their two week summer drill. They were good sticks.
