I like your thinking.
They are a small shop of only 8 people and have to support 16 hour days (each suppose to work 8, but allowed to go to 12 if necessary, so no one individual can work the entire support day). So as you can see they are already split into 2 shifts each day. They are pretty much a skeleton crew at this point and generally half the people are out working in the field at any given time (the "field" is much of the western US, so you can't always call people back to the shop in a hurry). There's been talk of going to 24 hour support; I don't know how they would pull that off, they have trouble finding qualified people as it is.
I keep reminding myself that it's good to be needed (and hopefully hard to replace) when the economy goes soft.
