AA/AE dispatch Q

[brokedash]

I'm pretty sure both are represented by TWU , does anyone know if they are under the same local?

 

[dispatchguy]

Yes, they are...

 

[brokedash]

Which local are they?

One more question, does anyone know what dispatch software program and ASD AA/AE uses? Do they use different systems?

 

[deltabobo]

I believe they still use SABRE FOS, but I may be mistaken.

As of this fall, both will be rolling out Jeppesen's Dispatch Control for flight planning and WSI Fusion for radar/ASD. Don't know about AE, but mainline is already running Fusion.

Having never used Fusion, how does it compare to Flight Explorer?

We just got Fusion at OO... Some better, some worse... Jury is still out on it.

We've been running Fusion for over a year now and I've come to like it better than FE. WSI seems to listen to the users when requesting changes and/or updates, at least from my viewpoint. When it rolled out it was lacking quite a bit of things that make it user friendly, but every update adds more things that, in my opinion, keeps it as the better overall product.

We will be moving our ACARS from our flight planning system over to Fusion soon, so we'll see how that goes.
