Big meeting: Skywest, ASA/XJet, Alpa, SAPA

[surreal1221]

You think your $hit don't stink? I guess your above other work groups...

Actually, my opinion of whether my $hit don't stink (doesn't?) is not important to the discussion at hand.

I commented on folks arguing with a dispatcher about, well, pilot issues.

I figured like most pilots, at ASA we already argue enough with dispatchers about overfueling us for an unnecessary alternate, filing us at F020, routing us on an RNAV departure without the correct equipment code so we never get a PDC, etc..

I just thought our time online could be better spent notarguing with said individual.

No, I'm not above other work groups. But that doesn't matter at this point, you already clearly missed the reason I made the comment in the first place.

Cheers.

 

[Ops check good]

Isn't there a dispatcher forum?

Probably, is this forum only for pilots?

Been saying it for more that a few years, it's just a matter of time. They are the next, just like the Flight Engineers and Navigators of yore....

And yet, you can't even push from the gate without us.....ego deflating, isn't it ?

About as "ego deflating" as waiting for the cargo load report.

Glad you admit you are dependent on other employees

Not dependent but more like required by the feds even though it's an outdated requirement, part 135 doesn't require it and we did fine doing it all ourselves then, except for baggage loading, but you could donthat probally if they ever eliminate dispatchers. :laugh:

Here's a thought, Freebird...UAVs !

Now given Management's penchant for heaping ever escalating workloads on Dispatchers....It wouldn't surprise me if WE are operating flights from the ground as PIC in the future. After all, we are WAAAAY less expensive than you guys.

Sure will be interesting to see which profession outlasts the other....
