You are indulging in a pi$$ing contest that serves no purpose or relevance to this thread. Judging by your comments you clearly are not an FAA licenced dispatcher. Please read the post at the start of this thread.
Your comments regarding shared or collective responsibility "My arse" are indicitave of your ignorance regarding this subject.
The first post points out some of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's) regarding the dispatch of an aircraft. Let me help you with a couple of words
1) Regulation : from the latin regula - a rule- regulation the act of regulating: state of being regulated; a rule or order prescribed; a form of legislation used to bring the provisions of an act; a law.
2) Dispatch : in FAR parlance is not as you understand it and hence the first post. It goes way beyond the turn around, ground supervision and load sheet responsibilities that you are involved in at your place of work.
You can read FAR121 and 65 online. It will help you to fully understand what goes on and why it is so important to debate its merits were it to be adopted in Euroland. By debating it here in these forums it may also encourage some to form pressure group(s) to lobby authorities to favour FAA methods and regulations.
Catch the tides of change - don't try to swim against it. Find out what some of us do, how it's done and then come and join us. The challenge of responsibility will invigourate you.
Cheers
