Correct. I did mean
Ops (as opposed to
Ground Ops). But even our main "client" (a well-known integrator) is entitled to delay our departure, CANX the rotation or re-route if need be.
GHA? Most people (including crews) wouldn't have the faintest idea what that refers to (I've only just worked it out)! Granted, the term "dispatcher" does have a different meaning depending where it's used - and FAA dispatcher training (and responsibilities) are
very thorough. But from my seat on the flight deck, the guy/girl preparing/managing the turnaround
is a dispatcher. I don't care what it says on his/her yellow (or red) jacket.
Otherwise I agree with you!
Cheers
