Wth regard to Servisair not having a problem with it I beg to differ, I think you should check the training manual,
The dispatcher is supposed to tick the-REG/DATE/FLT NO/CREW CONFIG/ AND I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHERS, and then the dispatcher signs for all he's ticked, in otherwords countersigning it, obviously all responsibility is on the person who produced it, but I can go back a number of years when SABENA/AIR EUROPA/FUTURA/SPANAIR all the foreign airlines and beleive it or not Airtours at the time the captains used to turn around and say can you sign this loadsheet coz they didn't like accepting loadsheets with electronic signatures coz anyone can put a name there,
MY job is basically a load controller as you can probably gues with my username, now if I dispatch a flt i'll always sign the loadsheet weather or not I produced it, all I'm signing for is that the loadsheet represents that flt and that it is loaded in accordance, I know your gonna say "well your w/b trained" but it's the same with anyone.
CHEERS!!!!!
P.s this is the practice for Servisair at ??? and it is given from the Training manual.
