Thanks for replying. I know there is a variation of what a dispatcher is depending on where abouts in the world you live. In the UK i was under the impression that a 'dispatcher' was infact a turn-around co-ordinator, where as in the USA a 'dispatcher' also co-ordinates the turn around but also is involved in the flight-planning of the aircraft and other aspects where as in the UK this is handled by someone else.
I may be wrong and this may differ from airline, but working for BA shorthall at LGW this seems the way which it is done. Ill have to wait till the summer vacencies open again.
