Its a lame concept that seeks to "cover" something even at times by not actually covering it...merely seeking someone to blame it on above all else. And the kicker is, even if they "get" someone that way, had that person simply not answered, it would have been chalked up to no crews anyway.

Stupid antiquated policy that fools no one and results in no additional coverage and only creates way more work for everyone involved.
