The reason the Dispatcher is checking the LoadSheet and signing it is to stop things from going tits up in the first place, trust me, if there is a problem with the Load sheet and you havn't check it correctly then the Dispatcher is ultimatley to blame, from past experiences, if the captain receives an incorrect Loadsheet then the blame will be on the Dispatcher Not the Load Controller, because it shouldn't have got as far as the captain if that was the case, the dispatchers role without any doubt is to make sure that all a/c he/she does are SAFE and this means checking checking checking and double checking everything again and this means countersigning Loadsheets, each company has their own legeslation when it comes to the procedures of a Dispatcher but evey companyshould have the same procedure of SAFTEY.

Yes the load sheet gets checked. But as I have said I have never been asked to sign a LS I that I did not create. The DFT have no problem with this, the CAA have no problem with this nor do Servisair. If they did then the station I work from would have been closed down a long time ago.

On the bottom of our loadplans it clearly states:
I certify that this cargo load plan has been executed and loading verified in accordance with company policy.
Then there is a space for the ramp lead to sign off with emp number.
This is then stored with the loadsheet (load sheet only signed by the loadplanner responsible) and kept on file.

Wth regard to Servisair not having a problem with it I beg to differ, I think you should check the training manual,
The dispatcher is supposed to tick the-REG/DATE/FLT NO/CREW CONFIG/ AND I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHERS, and then the dispatcher signs for all he's ticked, in otherwords countersigning it, obviously all responsibility is on the person who produced it, but I can go back a number of years when SABENA/AIR EUROPA/FUTURA/SPANAIR all the foreign airlines and beleive it or not Airtours at the time the captains used to turn around and say can you sign this loadsheet coz they didn't like accepting loadsheets with electronic signatures coz anyone can put a name there,
MY job is basically a load controller as you can probably gues with my username, now if I dispatch a flt i'll always sign the loadsheet weather or not I produced it, all I'm signing for is that the loadsheet represents that flt and that it is loaded in accordance, I know your gonna say "well your w/b trained" but it's the same with anyone.
CHEERS!!!!!
P.s this is the practice for Servisair at ??? and it is given from the Training manual.

You do that and see what he says, I'm sure that SERVISAIR is the same all over and our training guys resieved all the info from the Traners at GLA, if it isn't in the manuall then I'll appologise now, but the counttersigning of Loadsheets is only to clarify that the Loadsheet matches the LIR and that it is loaded in accordance and that the a/c is safe, that's all.
Now I'm sick of talking about the same thing!!!!lol
Any cance of a pint......????
