True, the solution was pretty terrible, but their situation is pretty terrible too. I think that's what made the episode particularly interesting. It's difficult to pick sides when while you want to side with Chief Tyrol and demand decent working conditions, you're also faced with the reality that they have a very limited number of people, are stuck in space, and may have to run from the cylons at any minute. If that's not a decent argument for "I don't care how it gets done, just do it," I don't know what is! With that in mind, the solution they came up with seems pretty reasonable. People get much-needed downtime and jobs requiring minimal experience get rotated. I'm not sure that there's any better solution for them considering the circumstances.
