Having someone on FSB just generates unnecessary urge by crew desk to use them while they’re on the hook. Usual tactic is to DH them before they expire to cover a trip in another domicile the next day so they “save the bullet” there. Just in case. Bet if SC paid 5 hours to show in <1 hour they’d see comparable response.
I can see the need for FSB for some widebody international where the whole crew pumpkins if it takes a while to replace someone but that’s about it
