Kenton / All: My definition would be a "one armed, paper hanger!" >From my observation of dispatch ops at Atlantic Coast Airlines nearby Dulles, its a darkened room with many people in front of screens, much like an ATC room. They are talking of course, to the pilots where ever they are flying in the system. (One must be quiet when they walk by or walk into the room. There is probably some FAA regulation to support this policy, too.) Here in Boston, Hudson General (our own one armed, paper-hangers) are sending crews out to service the planes and taking down arrival and departure times, de-icing, fuel, etc. Not a very pleasant job. High stress! Can anyone agree / disagree? Am I defining the right job title?
