Having worked at ExJet and now CAL, we dispatchers are in the middle between managers and pilots (we do take the written ATP and many of us having private pilot license). We see and hear managers on a daily basis since their offices are next to SOCC and/ or one floor above.

The overseas flying is a strong option and ExJet has been approached by at least one other carrier to do flying for them.

BTW, ExJet SOCC is one floor below CAL SOCC in the downtown Continental building...
