AN ILLUSTRATION OF INCREASED WORKLOAD IMPOSED ON AN ACR DISPATCHER BY SCHEDULE CHANGE; MAINT DIFFICULTIES; WX ETC.

Narrative

THERE WAS A SCHEDULE CHANGE ON JUN/SAT/03; WHICH ADDED 90+ MORE FLT TO THE XY SIDE. FD24 HAS YVR TO ALL 3 HUBS AT DFW; ORD AND STL. FD24 STILL HAS THE MAJORITY OF THE TRANSCONS INCLUDING 15 DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ARPTS. NOW LETS ADD ENRTE ALTERNATED FOR THE S80'S AND THE ENRTE WX; ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE GULF ROUTES. ON JUN/FRI/03; THERE ARE 2 MIL CHARTERS AND 2 POSITIONING FLTS FOR THOSE CHARTER ACFT. THERE WAS NO ACFT ANALYSIS FOR THE B767 FOR VCV. THE ORIGINAL B767 PLANNED ON THIS CHARTER HAD 33 FEWER SEATS THAN THE CHARTER CALLED FOR. THE BOS-SJC FLT REQUESTED A PHONE PATCH WITH MAINT TECHNICIAN ABOUT A PRESSURIZATION PROB. MIA HAD A FUEL PIPELINE RUPTURE; WHICH RESULTED IN EARLY RELEASE REQUEST FOR THE MIA-SFO FLT. THERE ARE 22 RELEASES ON FD24 BTWN XA00-SC00. AT APPROX XB00 LCL; THOSE RELEASES START CALCULATING; SO THEY BOUNCE FOR OVERWTS AND ENRTE ALTERNATES. ALSO AT XB00; THE EBOUND TRANSCONS ARE NEARING THEIR DESTS AND IT IS TIME TO ADVISE THEM WHAT TO EXPECT. THE LAST 4 DAYS THE TSTMS HAVE BLOSSOMED MOSTLY OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND FLORIDA; SO IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DESK. ALSO; TSTMS HAVE POPPED UP OVER THE 4 CORNER STATES.
