Interesting twist Uplock. One of the contributing factors to this problem is the fact that many pilots do work on their days off.
It is known that scheduling contact guys on days off before they use their reserve pilots, so that they can present a better picture to their bosses, but also they know that no one is going to work on a day off if they are called at midnight. Therefore days off guys are used during the day which leaves the reserve available for last minute callouts at night.
I everyone (many already do) refuse to work on days off, then the management would be pushed into a corner where they would have to at least increase their reserve coverage (employ more pilots) which has to be good for all of us. i.e they cant fill the courses now let alone if they had to increase the numbers. That may (or may not) result in an improvement in "the package"
Moral to the story
DONT WORK ON YOUR DAYS OFF!!!
