In recent ponderings it occured to me that perhaps there may be a chance (albeit slight
)of finding satisfying employment outside the cockpit. In the U.S it appears that a dispatch rating can be had in only a few months. I've read all the hype that the schools put out, but do you enjoy it? Is it repetetive skullduggery or is it rather satisfying? For that matter, is load-planning done by the same individual? As a bagggage smasher I've witnessed some of the output from this department, is it just running numbers all day? Here I am, sounding like a newbie. I'm afraid I've embraced flying at the expense of all rational thought. Anyway, help me out. Inform the ignorant, if you will.
