redistribution is only part of it. at a regional i could see every desk drowning. rushed/poor training, bad workload management, inexperienced dispatchers, sure. maybe it’s just the way my carrier sets up the desks, but it’s practically impossible for every desk to be drowning. either way, like #32 said… flight following takes priority. that’s one of the very basic questions even regional carriers ask you. they give you a few scenarios, and see how you would prioritize them. that isn’t just an interview question, it’s important stuff that we have to be able manage each day.
