Have to agree with you both. In the UK, ground handling companies refer to this position of employment as a 'flight dispatcher'. I am aware of the job that a flight dispatcher does on the continent - it is completely different! Since the initial post was refering to a position in the UK with a ground handler, I used the term dispatcher (turnaround co-ordinator) as this is what he will be referred as.
Think this topic about the terminology/job description has been flogged to death elsewhere on this forum.
