Every time I've called to ask why did X happen or Y, there is always a reasonable answer that leaves me with my original assignment.
Agreed. I ran into this over the summer when I hit my 6th SC for the month with other guys having less than 3. There's a lot of info we don't have access to. Even sleuthing around iCrew won't necessarily yield any results.
