Best L/controller
Can't say who I've heard it from but its pretty much common knowledge on our station, I think the company is looking to bring loadcontrol under one roof and have gate agents instead of dispatchers at all the out stations in the future rather than dispatchers. Also remember that in the states, dispatchers are the guys with the licence who make ops decisions/planning and those guys at the aircraft who do the turnaround are known as rampers who board and also moniter the turnaround, so I think they might be looking at saving money in the long run by implementing this. I might be completely wrong this the reason for this though, also remember that all licenced flights LH/PK/EK etc will still need to be covered by licenced dispatchers at the aircraft so this CLC can only cover charter carriers and few scheduled airlines.
