The post was not concerning the professionalism of the flight deck crew, i admire them. Regardless of how professional or how crap a dispatcher you are, no-one deserves to be spoken down too, or have doors closed on you becase the crew dont wish to speak to you. We would almost certainly be sacked if we spoke to any crew in that manner so we dont expect it back.
If there policy is not to board until -15mins untill CTOT then fair enough, but it would be nice to have a memo from regional if this is the case, as it only seems to be regional that never board ontime if there is a slot restriction.
