The issue about load controllers not having been on the ramp isn't so much about lack of experience. Dispatchers too have to start from somewhere. Obviously from zero experience. Your post suggests a training issue and that is correct. Some time should be spent familiarising themselves with compartment volumes, lock restrictions and loading issues. A lot of frustration with CLC agents often stems from unrealistic load plans. For a brand new first timer this is understandable. However for a CLC agent (who incidentally does many more flights than a dispatcher) to have no understanding of these daily issues is unacceptable.
