BUT does require an Ops/Load Control that is on the ball and a flight crew prepared for the occasional delays in 'ready' so as not to delay others.
Agreed, but it also requires investment in robust and rapid comms between the Turn Round Manager/Dispatcher (European version) and Load Control,whichever continent that is on
, perhaps a a 10 year old fax machine hidden away in some back office might not be up to the task.... and there's also a need for investment to make sure there are enough qualified dispatchers on duty at the receiving end to ensure that the figures are processed and sent back to the aircraft ASAP....
Oh, did I mention there's a need for investment
