What's a European Dispatcher?
Can someone please fill me on what a European Dispatcher does? I've been reading these topics, and actually just discovered PPRUNE. I am confused. At the major airline where I am currently employed, dispatchers do not even see airplanes. We are housed in a huge dark room environment facility, write flight plans, write the dispatch release, and include the weather packet. From reading the topics, I guess Euro Dispatchers go out and work the airplanes as well? Can someonen please fill me in!
