No they are _not_. Salary is for 40 hours a week, +/- 5 hours depending on temporary circumstances.

Salary is not 40 hours working + 128 hours on call per week.

This of course depends on your particular employment contract. In some cases, someone may agree to be on call whenever they're not working and AFAIK (IANAL) such contracts are legal in some circumstances.
That depends on whether or not the employee is FLSA exempt or non-exempt.
