Well, the timing is way off, she’s got the pump halfway down the slide when the light flashes.
Although, maybe someone on the film crew was used to firing early?

This gets said every time that we hire and very few actually apply. I hope it is true this time as they have a lot of really good dispatchers that would do well at the mainline level. Indeed, they probably have the best and most experienced dispatchers at all of the regionals. Very senior at MQ is 25-30 years of experience dispatching there.
IIRC, there is not a formal flowthrough from MQ to AA. They have to apply and interview like everyone else. I would be a bit surprised if this was true. The JCBA is now two years old and this is the 4th round of hiring since the pay increase. MQ is now pretty stable fleet wise and doesnt seem at risk of shutting down anytime soon. Why apply now? What has changed recently at MQ?

Longevity has absolutely zero correlation to ones ability to do the job. I know people who have been dispatching over 25 years at a major and don’t have a damn clue as to what they’re doing.

I'm not sure how that is even possible. I haven't run into a flight planning system yet that wouldn't just • the bed if you tried to file something over the drink using domestic rules. Even at that, there's so much wrong with this that if it actually happened I would:
a: Check the dispatcher for signs of stroke
b: Drug test him IMMEDIATELY
c: If A and B were negative, send him back to class.

There is no flow through. Anyone from MQ has to be as competitive as the next person.

Mine does it for me, then I need to push more buttons for B043 or B044. Work is hard.

I would like to introduce you to LIDO, the German flight planning software used by UPS. It is absolute garbage. The only way it could possibly be worse is if it would sling feces at the dispatcher through the computer screen. You can file domestic across any ocean, you can plan a flight to an airport not in your C070, you can break any reg under the sun. It is completely free of safety nets. I've also seen NAVTECH flight plans filed domestically under international rules and vice versa.

Can say that I have free range as far as domestic and international rules with NAVTECH, but it at least has some safety nets, just not too many.

Doesn’t it have more to do with what the Admin settings are?
We have flag routes that we dispatch as Domestic per our OpSpecs.
I know to do Supplemental flight we have to go to a separate menu for it

One of the funniest software descriptions I've ever seen.
Isn't that the system Lufthansa uses also? I've seen their representatives at ADF events before but I've never heard a flight planning system described so poetically.Well Lufthansa did make it so makes sense they would use it. Even if it is the worst thing since Vista.One of the funniest software descriptions I've ever seen.

Don't hesitate. Penetrate!
So now you are a flight planning software expert. We get it, you just like to post stuff that contributes nothing worthwhile. Might have something to due with not having any credentials. This is NOT sarcasm.

I worked with Navtech in 3 different shops and each was slightly different, the admin settings make big difference on the called "safety nets"
