Things were often busy on Earth-2.
Very, very busy.
So busy, in fact, that answering distress calls from fellow Justice Society members? Waaay down on the priority list.
The Star-Spangled Kid has been captured--Huntress and Wildcat escape, but they don't stand a chance against that kind of power. So...
But, surprise, surprise, the calvary doesn't come!
Good question...
OK, probably a good excuse, Kara...
Away from their Hawk-Wings? Shouldn't they carry the alert signal, oh, I don't know, in a pocket? A wallet? A watch? Somewhere they can actually hear it?
You're excused, this time, Charles...
Oh, come on, Clark---flying saucers are an everyday occurrence in Metropolis!! This is an emergency!!
OK, how about some of the true old guard?
Empty closets? Where are Jay and Alan?
Dudes--CARRY. YOUR. EMERGENCY. SIGNALS. ON. YOUR. PERSON.
One last try...
Man, Dr. Fate just straight out ignored you.
The moral: if you get into trouble on Earth-2, you're on your own...
From All-Star Comics #71 (1978)

Sheesh! And I've always laughed at Hal for not wearing his ring while flying a plane, and keeping his lantern in his locker at Ferris.
But the JSA is pretty darned...casual about it all.
