I had a GOC person, very nice person, on my JS this morning. They said they are going to hire 4 more dispatchers in January. They also said the USPS was adding enough freight to pull airplanes out of the desert.

They gave some examples of times when they had to extend crews, and said they were just following orders from higher up and had no input. They were the just the messenger, so don't get mad at them when they give you the bad news.

It was a positive experience to have them on my JS, and I welcome them any time.

I honestly think, at least this person, tried to do a good job for us.

This person did my flight plan for the leg they were on, and I didn't need to add fuel, because of their experience level. I told them I appreciated that.
