What would be nice is if they would come to their senses and instead of flat plating the pilots group (thus losing their goodwill) and playing a power game (which doesn't really exist) they'd take a problem solving approach. There are plenty of win-win solutions on the table which cost little in terms of keeping the operation running and expanding it.
At the end of the day, it doesn't MATTER who is right or wrong. If the mission isn't getting done it's not getting done. Fix the problem, not the blame.
It's like a power grid. If there isn't enough generating capacity for the demand at the time (or the generators are restricted in their operation) someone isn't going to get power. Moreover, deliberately keeping a significant fraction of your generation capacity on standby somewheres else (or even at all) is pretty damn stupid. Not even knowing where your generators are or will be tomorrow even worse. 3-man and other penny pinching measures won't increase generating capacity. The generators CAN operate more efficiently and at better demand distribution levels would a sensible RP agreement be achieved. What I might expect next is a series of rolling blackouts such that one sector isn't overly unserviced.
