DISPATCHER RPT OF REPAIR ON EMER CHUTE WIRE DONE BY FLC. NOT LEGAL.

Narrative

AFTER ACFT HAD LANDED AND WAS UNLOADED; FLT ATTENDANT FOUND A WIRE OFF THE EMER CHUTE THAT WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE GIRT BAR. CAPT/FO AND STATION AGENTS SPENT ABOUT 20 MINS TRYING TO GET THIS HOOKED BACK UP. UNABLE TO DO SO. CAPT CALLED ME; DISPATCHER; AND I GOT HIM HOOKED UP WITH MAINT TECHNICIAN. AFTER THE CAPT TOLD US WHAT WAS WRONG; MAINT TECHNICIAN TRIED TO TELL HIM HOW TO FIX IT BUT THEN TOLD HIM TO WRITE IT UP IN THE LOGBOOK AND TO HAVE STATION AGENT CALL OUT THE FIX BASE MAINT PERSON. THIS WOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HR. ABOUT 10 MINS LATER THE CAPT CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE FO AND AN AGENT HAD FIXED THE DOOR. I TOLD HIM; GREAT LET'S LOAD UP THE PEOPLE AND GO. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CAPT OR THE FO COULD NOT DO THE WORK. AFTER I GOT OFF THE TELEPHONE I CALLED MAINT TECHNICIAN AND HE SAID OK LET IT GO. HE DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS AGAINST FAR FOR THE CAPT TO DO IT UNTIL FLT WAS GONE OR I WOULD HAVE STOPPED ACFT UNTIL MAINT GOT THERE. CORRECTIVE ACTION: JUST HAVE CAPT WRITE IT UP IN LOG AND WAIT FOR MAINT TO FIX IT; NO MATTER HOW LONG PAX HAVE TO WAIT. I KNOW BETTER NEXT TIME. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
