I for one want to thank our web master for allowing the room and taking the time to recognize our fine group of professionals...I wanted to be sure our over-the-Burlap-wall crew schedulers were acknowledged as well.

Since the begining of time, the dark rooms of flight dispatch and crew schedulers have performed remarkable work to keep our respective airlines and companies operating through very tough times, and high pressure quick-thinking choices. Most of the time we have our management right there watching our every move or there to assist.

I am hopeful that this section will shed some light into our world highlighting the reasons and choices we have to make, the situations that force those decesions that effect the flight crews work and working conditions.

I am also hopeful that we can gain more insight to you're world of the pilots and Flight Attendants, so we can look into making adjustments to our thinking, or implement improvements which will benefit us all.

We are all in this industry because we love aviation and most of us have worked very hard to get where we are today. Though not many of us in dispatch hold an ATP certificate, we do have the same basic knowledge base as the ATP and in some cases more specialized training just like pilots do in the aircraft. Many of us do hold Valid Pilots certificates which is a big plus in helping our crews.
I think I speak for most dispatchers and schedulers on this one, we are all here to perform our part to help you the Pilots & F/A's perform your's and do it to the benefit of the Passengers and the company.
We all need each other here and we would appreciate your understanding and respect of the many roles in which we perform with little fanfare, consideration or praise from the outside world, work that contributes directly to keeping these companies moving everyday.

JMHO.....
 
Why not. Thank you dispatchers, FAs, ATC, all the behind the scenes folks who help make it happen in very tough times.

KS, for the third time, I can't file you direct to the bar, only to the destination airport. It's up to you to get from your seat to the stool. :)

Aww crap, you know it's things like this they do not tell you in the brochure at career day! :)
 
I checked the ARFF on that bar he wants...its good to go, all the equipment he will need, however the runway analysis, is a bit shady and the ILS is always OTS when the Wx is below mins....

LOL....amend your clearance! I have flights to release! ;)


What!!?? {Look of complete shock on face} Amend my own clearance?? What do you think I am? I am a highly paid professional pilot here, I have no time to file a flight plan. "Hey Joe....yeah you...snapperhead with the three stripes" {motioning to the F/O} get away from that F/A, she'll give you the drips"......."not that I know personally.....just what I heard.....yeah thats it heard...in the crew room....no not him either.....boy you are desperate aren't you?" "Anyhow get over here and go get me a Grande Coffee from starbucks.....oh yea, and refile the clearance too you goober!"

{mumbling} " Amend my own clearance....Ha" {Shuffles off to the can and comb my hair} :) :)
