Dogma
We are Captains - we say jump - you say how high
SeniorDispatcher did
not suggest that they were in charge of anything other than the preparatory stages and then the Captain accepted or rejected the advice.

First of all, they're not "your" PICs; secondly, the Captain is in charge, not you;
The use of the term 'my PICS' was clearly a collective that might be the same as 'my PAX' or 'my clients'. It simply conveyed the group of people with whom
SD deals in their working day. And, secondly, they never suggested that they were in charge!
In fact, the entire post was stating that the Captain is in charge and making it clear that those in planning and Ops are supporting the Captain to take as much or as little fuel as they like!!! Doubtless, there will be some who are running a lottery about who can ship the least fuel but I have no doubt that Captains have run a fair few lotteries themselves on different aspects of flights over the years ...
Wow. Lucky we don't have any egos in here.
