Doctor Duces says:
"there are whole stations working week ends because no one has the b**ls to say NO."
I agree with the lack of b&lls argument but, playing devils advocate for a mo, isn't bitching about working on, heaven forbid...a Saturday missing the point?
The average bloke on the hangar floor/in the cab of a bowser/ on the gate will happily work any day of the week as long as he doesn't have to work EVERY day of the week.
In my current line of employment we work weekends, evenings, Saturdays, match days, holidays, birthdays, we go to the desert, Northern Ireland, the Falkands, boggy fields in the barren North, we even go on that bloody light grey floaty thing. We don't mind, we some times even enjoy it but to those in so-called power...just stop taking it so blatantly for granted because thus it becomes the norm.
