I get your point but I prefer the company interpretation of 12 E1 over what the union tried to make it. It just makes sense.
A reserve pilot on day two at 7 am would be released if he had an R1 and another pilot would be EX or JMed to fly the flight. Really? Is that the intent of 12 E1? Any and all legal and available reserve pilots should be used before JMs should be used.
