    I've wondered about this. My 'dude' (dispatcher) seems young and somewhat clueless. But nice and answers my calls. So its perfect for me. But inquiry on other stuff besides exactly what he does gets me crickets. Cuz he doesn't know and isisn't interested in efforts to be educated. Unfortunately. Although I might have a phone number...
    When he said he wasn't fired i thought I'd mind my own business lol.

    You’ve got to get those HOS rules down. It’s important right up there with driving skills. If you mess up often you will piss off your safety department, end up getting your trip planning wrong which will upset you dispatcher, and risk fines. Check out some videos or instruction sites, and see if that dumb ### trainer of yours can explain. If you get the vibe he doesn’t know them inside out, back to the videos. Maybe get a better trainer.

    I understand the HOS rules, the reason why I decided to drive I won’t mention because I’m tired of discussing the same topic and don’t wanna come off as a complainer any more so than what I may already have

    Did you seriously just quote the Facts of Life theme song?

    I stand in awe.

    Thank you for your service, sir. Our son received an appointment to the USNA but instead, decided to go the NROTC route. It was a personality thing and now after a few years of flying an F-18 he knows he made the right decision to go ROTC.

    What is it about those ring knockers?! Even in the squadron the Annapolis boys pretty much stay to themselves. Not what I would have expected.

    I have the nice guy problem too. I don't want anything from anyone and I let alot slide. Till I don't. I try not to do that anymore because I find that people get butthurt when they are used to pushing and suddenly find out that your not that soft.
