Make it invisible!
From Helmut Lehr
There is a tendency in now-a-days Business Aviation which makes me shake and freeze.
A very competitive market situation puts more and more pressure on Business Aviation companies.

Contrary to US regulations a dispatcher was never required in Europe to perform a commercial flight. Instead the workload and responsibility always rested with the pilot in command.Read more...
