LITOW,
I agree with what you are saying, but when I mentioned the issue of licensing, I meant that if it was a legal requirement for dispatchers to hold a license, then we might just get a bit more respect from the jumped up drivers that think we are just wannabe pilots or spotters or just plain stoopid in the way we get spoken to, as they would realise we had to sit exams to get our license too, just as they did.
I know that it wouldn't change the fact that there are staff and equipment shortages, but at least we might get spoken to like human beings rather than a piece of dog $h!t.
