I assure you that years of experience shows they will throw flight ops under the bus to cover their own "6". And that goes for dispatch, inflight, training, ground ops, tech ops, DCI, Delta.... you get the idea... Do your job according to what the written guidance says (get it in writing or it's as good as rotten cheese) and you should be covered 99.99% of the time. (there's always an exception it seems in life so, yea)
