Oh Senior Dispatcher - get yourself an ATPL and come back when you know what the Skipper's job entails you d1psh1t
Actually, since the written test for the FAA's ADX certificate shares about 98% of its material with the FAA's ATP written test, for all practical intents and purposes (save the actual flying bit) I already have one, thanks...
After 30+ years of doing this, suffice it say that I know full well what the PIC's job entails, what mine entails, and how each party can (and should) better interface. I've done about 300 hours of jumpseat observation time (if not more) over that 30 years to see the crew's world, but I've yet to see a PIC (or F/O) sit down with me for 3 hours of Dispatch observation time to see our world, let alone 300 hours. You don't know what you're missing...
I don't know what regs you operate under in whatever part of the world you're in, but if they're different than the FAA's Part 121 that was being discussed, so be it. If you do have dispatchers where you work (and I don't mean "dispatchers" who work airside, boarding flights, etc.), maybe your visiting your own would be informative, and generate a valid operational discussion or two.
Of course, tossing out an obscenity to a compete stranger is so much easier--Not professional or classy, mind you, just easier...
Have a nice day...
