Great news and something that is long overdue.
I have to agree with the points raised above re the standards of dispatch and ops around the country and into Europe. There are far too many so called fully trained and experienced staff who think that they know the business inside out, but when it comes down to dealing with irregular problems, they are the first to guess and that only makes some issues worse.
I have two points to make:
1/ Does this mean that all staff dealing with ops / dispatch need to be licenced or can it just be the supervisor / DO on duty?
2/ Will the effected staff use this to try and increase salaries and would the airlines pay an increase to cover training costs and assist in the retention of staff?
Maybe this should be sent to the Main forum to get the views of the flight crews who must see various standards throughout the country and Europe.
Thanks to all and enjoy the rest of the summer!!!
