Thanks for the insight. Well, I'm coming from the 135 world. There, you are expected to be the CA, FO, FA, baggage handler, dispatcher, WX man, fueler, etc. and the list goes on, so for me that's not a deal breaker but I definitely see what you mean and why it's a big deal.
Are there any improvements on the pipeline to mitigate the issue (I.e. Training their Distpach center). Thanks!!
