Would you advocate paying NFL players one-tenth of what MLB players make? After all, they only play 16 games in football. In baseball they play 162. Obviously baseball players should make 10 times as much as football players!

"You don't base an employee's salary on the number of hours he works"

I think that is generally part of the equation. What you are essentially saying is that someone who works a weekend doing the same job that someone else does 5 days a week should be compensated exactly the same?
