Fact. The department is 5 flight followers/dispatchers short. The past three new hires have left for different airlines in some cases less than 6month on the job. Training and working conditions need to be improved before we will see more consistent flight plans and better overal quality. The revolving door needs to stop if we want to be a big boy airline and have more support out on the line.
