I myself was not a Dispatcher before becoming a Load Controller but i did spend time as a Check-In agent before hand. I am currently only required to be Licenced for Bulk load aircraft only as we don't handle any wide bodied aircraft.
Is a Dispatcher required to obtain a license same as Dispatcher or will they only require Tripple A training.
I have observed on many occasion the downfall of CLC and frustrations not only by the flight deck, but the dispatcher and baggage handlers who have to alter loads on several occasions.
I prefer that i am Load Controller trained and don't think i could go to being a Dispatcher. On the plus side at least the Captains would have to do their own manual loadsheets.
