So Sleezyjet - CLP are Crap! In what respect?
Not sure who has the attitude problem! They probably do come across as slightly bossy; but hey! they're the guys and gals that are load controlling all your flights worldwide. They actually feel like their working for the same company as you really; you know, part of the team! not, bowing down to you as a VS Super Despatcher. Anyway, they probably just got off the phone to JFK trying to sort out their usual last minute changes!
I'm sure VS would like to do CLP in house but, it's probably still cheaper with the current arrangement, especially given the tight financial constraints these days..
Eh, and why would LGW need LHR Style VS Super Despatchers then? I'm sure all current LGW despatchers can handle any flight that comes their way!
