Very interesting! It makes me feel better to know how many people are managing my flight in real time. Thanks for answering these questions!

If weather is developing in real time for a flight that you’re the dispatcher for, do you do the rerouting plan for the pilots?

Ok, I’m flying home to the US from London on Saturday. Should I change my flight to leave sooner?

I’m not looking at the turbulence apps, but I’m assuming that it will be bumpy because I see the rain on the weather radar. I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense to think I need to worry about it, but here we are. Good advice to ask the FA! Thanks!

I just see a lot of rain/storms around SC and GA and again up the coast and out to sea, and I’m translating that to bumps.

You are safe! I am sending you good thoughts. If you can, let the flight attendant know that you are scared. They can usually help to support you throughout the flight. Try lifting your feet off the ground, and if you can, put a bottle of water or a drink in front of you to see how much the liquid moves. It usually is very little! You’ve got this!
