On the 12th of May at CWL flight BE1432, when the a/c came on to stand the dispatcher informed the captain that there maybe a delay in the paperwork as SITA was down in the operations office and therefore needed to contact CDG regarding the passenger breakdown and figures e.tc. which is needed for the loadsheet.
Captains response was 'yeah yeah, excuses we've heard them all before, we asked for a Male dispatcher and they can't even give us that.
This is totally disgraceful and i'm totally suprised that she stayed at the a/c and continued to dispatch it, i know if i was her i would have walked away and said ok you can wait for one and take a hefty delay, as somedays theres no male dispatcher on shift.
