I agree with your comments and the way in which you complete your work, but too many staff, escpecially within the UK, do not complete the basics, need constant supervision, turn up late at the a/c and give the position a bad name. Unfortunatly, they also think that they are doing a good job and become too big for their position.
A well dispatched flight is easy to spot, as is a flight that is badly dispatched.
