Jorge,
"The dispatcher is a dying breed..."
In real terms the dispatcher should not be required if every service provider did their job effectively and efficiently and the aircraft are equipped with ACARS.
Back in the mid 90's SAS got rid of their 'standard' dispatchers in Scandinavia and contracted service providers to do their jobs and supervise themselves. they did have a 'hot squad' at their hubs to intervene if flights were off schedule.
In todays LC market, the dispatch role is defunct already. They are 'runners'; there is very little to coordinate on the turnround as the majority do not have TSU/WSU/Catering/Cleaning/Cargo; so its pax/bags/fuel and off we go. The Gh rarely do a full loadsheet, they do loading information for ACARS or the flight deck to complete their own loadsheets - all of which are very basic and very simple.
Question:
Is an Airbus 319/320 a better option for short turnrounds than a B736/7/8?
Airbus have wider aisles and the passengers seem to be able to pass one another more easily and there is not that huge rear hold per the Boeings.
Just a thought.
