Alternate planning and C70

There seriously are people I work with who do not read the NOTAMS, then they sometimes wind up with bigger problems and it's everyone else's faults but their own.

You mean that departure XYZ is not available except for certain aircraft because VOR ABC is out of service ?

Ahhhhh yeah....my bad.
 
Unless you really love dispatching, I can see why some people might not want to read NOTAMs when they come from a place UHHH and RJJJ FIRS.
 
Failure to read NOTAMS seems like an excellent way to abbreviate your career, and quite possibly spectacularly at that. Kind of like sending 180 armed American troops to a closed airport in Italy and discovering that error when the aircraft is descending...

See that little flashing red light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light going into overdrive!

I worked with a guy that dispatched one with an alternate that was closed to all but mil traffic. Guess what diverted?
