I sat reserve for two years starting in 2007. I broke guarantee once and that was 72 hours. Quite a few on the 88 this past winter did not fly for 2 months on reserve
I have flown reserve on and off for the last 12 years and never even got close to 70 hours in any category I flew in the following bases DFW, LAX, SLC, MCO, unpaid vacation 
, ATL ,SLC, LAX, but mostly LAX. The ATL narrow-body guys probably have a different experience

I break guarantee the hard way (meaning working for it...no green slips) on rsv about once a year on average.
...and no, I don't hold any ALPA positions and I'm a comfirmed 'NO' voter on most of the MEMRATs in my career, but on this one sliver of info I've seen released, I see a number of people jumping on an immediate doom and gloom appocalyptic view that's not based on reality.

something I haven't heard anyone consider is the new rest rules. Is it even possible for a reserve guy to get ALV+15 with an extra day off per month with the new rest rules in effect?

Meaning you're done at guarantee unless you want to go higher. AMIRITE?

Read what Check E said - that you responded to. You are talking past each other, but as I read it, Check is more on target.
