Marcus Webb in Dispatch and Ops Control
Taking the invitation. What actually happens on your end between me saying I want an extra 800 pounds and it showing up? I have genuinely never known and I have been doing this seven years.
Recompute the weight and balance, check it against the runway analysis for your actual departure runway, refile if the numbers moved, then call the fueler who is already on another airplane. Six to nine minutes if nothing is weird.
Six to nine minutes. I have absolutely called with four minutes to go and been annoyed at the answer. Apologies to every dispatcher I have done that to.
We forgive quickly. We also remember. Both things are true.
