If a manager on duty can't be contacted from any significant period of time
via a land line during an incident then he should be sacked for incompetance
and dereliction of duty. End of.

Except we have moved to a world where mobile phones are just as (if not
more) prevalent than landlines.

Not the point. Mobiles can be lost, broken or the battery can die. There
should always be a fallback landline option.

That doesn't help if the manager is many miles away from where the
landline rings.

That's a different class of people, I was talking about those who are
travelling to meetings. It's one of the few reasons people travel,
surprisingly enough.

Eh? There are dozens of reasons people travel. Commuting, theatre, shopping,
hospital, holiday etc etc

Commuters are often travelling to meetings too, at their office. The
other reasons you list for travel are tiny compared to this.
