Poor wording on my part. Scheds cannot "decide" to waive your rest. They cannot assign you another trip with less than 14 hrs block to block unless you are the ONLY reserve available. In the last 5 years and 4 months of straight reserve I have never had this happen. 14 hours in domicile between trips is WAAAAY better than 10 or 11 at CAL, wouldn't you agree?? As for the pilot not being able to waive the 14 block to block...I agree. Sometimes this is a pain in the arse for aggresive pick up. If you block in from an assignment, and you want to pick up a trip that departs 13:59 later, no can do...even if you call scheds. They cannot waive it either if there are reserves available.
