Really?? You want more guys to be on call over the weekend? The reason we have 50+ during the week is that we are overstaffed. Once the weekends have adequate coverage most guys bid the weekends off.
And if by "pi$$ing away money" you mean Pilot compensation, I say its a start. Remember the pilots had their defined benefit pensions canceled or frozen while management was getting bonuses to do it. Remember we took a 42% pay-cut and are still not back to 2001 wages.
If you are concerned about the company paying too much to the employees, which I admit is noble, start by taking a look at the plethora of VPs and/or Asst VPs. I bet not many of them are being compensated at or below 2001 levels.
