Can we make a distinct differential regarding the job title DISPATCHER please.
So called ramp coordinators are called DISPATCHERS in UK & Europe by some companies/operators. These are RAMP positions and bare no relemblance to Floght Operations Officers/Flight Dispatchers.
Can we all please use the following titles:
RAMP CO-ORDINATOR/
RAMP DISPATCHER for those who work the arvl/dep/ramp application.
FLIGHT Operations/
FLIGHT Dispatcher for those who handling all aspects of Flight Planning, WX/Notam/Operational/Flight following-watch functions.
Apologies for being a tad pedantic, but this disparity in titling has bugged me for many years
. What is now called dispatch by handlers was known as Movement Controller or Ramp Controller.
Comments SVP for both segments, but it surely needs clarification so as not to confuse those who are just starting out in our fine industry.
Thanks folks.
