Might talk to Sheffield and see what they have.
My comment wasn't meant as a reflection on you at all. It's just that in my experience pilots that transition into dispatch have a harder time of seeing the bigger picture that a dispatcher really has to consider in making decisions. That being...
That use to be true, however the local Federals changed things...you have to have a forecast, or be less than an hour out so that the Metar can be used. I use to work across the field, and they (Feds) decided upon that last May when we were doing proving runs. That's why KYIP reports a TAF now...
For what it's worth (maybe just to add to everyone speculating), I was advised by SOO HR that the possible move to CVG has been put on the backburner for the time being....
Good point Squirrel....and I'm not out to offend anyone either.
I work with folks that have never done sked...and had no idea about the OIS board or GDP's and how to deal with them, and we've had people come in from regionals and got their eyes opened with the non-sked side. Each side is unique...
Dang SKC....I was waiting for you to mention something about the Omegas failing everynight at sunset or how the Eurocontrol RAD compliant route from yesterday wasn't good today because it's the 3rd Friday of an odd numbered month and one airway became a CDR3!
You do more of on the fly...
I don't think there is a right or wrong comment on this.... Squirrel29 is correct about a supplemental...there's a lot of diversity in the flying. You may be going to Orlando one day and then sending the flight to the deepest parts of Africa or some other off the wall place. At a scheduled...
Not quite the way I'd put it, but Homers right...if you want to dispatch take a dispatch job and get the experience, and take your lumps like the rest of us have. Just because you have a dispatch ticket it doesn't mean you know how to dispatch...that's just a ticket to start learning.
SFO-CUN is not a route that requires ETOPS. To exceed the 162NM limit, life rafts have to be installed. A company can do ETOPS experience flights on domestic runs, they just have to treat them as ETOPS flights rule wise. The airline I was with did that when getting approved for ETOPS.
