Sorry for trying to be insightful into a more junior pilots situation who works more than me. I'll stop immediately and be less considerate of junior folks.
I don't know about your category, but in my category it's not the staffing over weekends. It's simply that the most open time exists over the weekend. In fact, in the slow months that's typically the only open time available. Increasing staffing over the weekend won't prevent the junior guys from getting spanked. They'll still get the trips first until they reach RAW Group 2, while the senior guys sit around watching CFB.
