20 years as a dispatch/scheduler/planner etc. NOT a pilot.

So if I sat in your office for two days once every six months I'd know all the intracacies and "what it's really" like to do your job? Man ... you must have a pretty easy/cushy job if in just a few hours, a couple times a year, could convey to me what it's really like to work that job long term ...

I have no comment, I have no idea what your airline trips look like, I am guessing the senior pilots get the better legs?
On the aircraft I'm flying, not really.

As for scheduling, most of the pairings are computer generated, and depending as to which airline you are with, a Crew Scheduler does not put together crew pairings, those are normally done by Crew Planners, so, I guess those would be the moron.
Arguing semantics really doesn't adress the issue I pointed out. Got a real argument for that?

Yeah I may seem a little aggressive on this topic but it just really irks me when someone who really has no clue (a few hours a year really doesn't cut it, especially when the dispatcher has his or her choice of what legs/trips to ride on) tells me what I should be willing/able to do.
