The word on the street (or should I say the ramp?) is that Flybe has served a months' warning to Swissport to improve things or else. One result is that Flight Dispatchers are going to reappear on some Flybe flights (JER/GCI). Surprise, surprise! Whoever thought that a 25-minute turnaround could be done without a Dispatcher being actually in charge of proceedings needs his/her head examined!
That said, when Flybe left Aviance, most Dispatchers there were quite happy and thought "good ridance" - the main problem was (is?) with BE's ops department and their habit of sending never-ending ops flashes to re-jig the day's flying programme at the last minute. It might be a paper change for them down in Exeter, but on the frontline, it gets a little bit more complicated (with stand changes, buses/ambulift to book at short notice, different lounges to use/man, fuellers/apron/ramp department to inform of the changes, sometimes aircraft config changes/seating changes, etc). And don't expect any thanks from them when things do work out!
In comparison, bmi OPS usually shine by their professionalism, even when there is disruption.
Cheers
