Can someone answer me a question as to why UK handling agents call their
ramp agents 'Dispatchers'.?
I worked as a ramp agent/w&b agent for a few years in the UK but I could never get my head around being called a 'Dispatcher' at the time...Because I wasn't.
I'm now an FAA
licenced flight dispatcher & it f*cks me off when UK handling agents call their staff by the the same job title I've worked my arse off for when they have (imo) no right to do so.
Call me a pretentious snob if you like but getting a job title straight out of Burger King which
seems to match mine & many others.....Is wrong when I've worked my arse off for my job, certificate & title.
Put the fu*k*ng loadsheet on the aircraft & stop passing yourselves off as a Dispatcher, FFS,
