All on the roster are from Monarch, Challenger, Frontier and Central. I have no record of any personnel from Arizona Airways. -Ace Avakian (6/1/99) Jake, I am sorry I didn't give you enough information with the photos. M.E. O'Neil is Ed O'Neil, he was chief pilot and VP of operations. All these people except Ed O'Neil were dispatchers. Thanks, -Al Kendell (2/18/00) FLacebook posting to ID photo found online Jake Lamkins Need an ID on this Aug 1973 pic. Harold Hopkin Reference this picture to me it looks like Joe Doussard who was a Dispatcher/Operations Manager in the Flight Control office. The big flight following board behind his back was installed when the Dispatch office moved from the terminal to the "new" hanger. Looking a that board you can see the placards saying Jet, East and West. That is how the flights were dispatched and followed by the assigned Dispatchers. I was given the detail of making up the flight number placards that were installed on that board and a top to bottom arm would follow that board for twenty four hours to show where each flight should be. Looking back it was a mind numbing detail whose usefulness was questionable. However my time at Frontier was some of the best working time of my life and the people were the greatest. I was furloughed in 1970 and chose not to come back when I was recalled. A very tough decision because I loved the job and the people but as it turned out it was for the best. (4/14/20) THANK YOU, Harold. I was hoping someone would explain the board along with the ID. Dispatcher Joe Doussard is the man and he retired in 1974. Your ID matches other pix in my FLiles. -Jake Lamkins (4/14/20) J A DOUSSARD DEN dispatcher Per the Nov 1955 Frontier Employees Roster. ----------------------------------------------- J A DOUSSARD Emp# 1913 DEN dispatcher DOB 3/17/09 DOH 5/13/48 Per the Feb 1960 Frontier Employees Roster. ----------------------------------------------- JOSEPH A DOUSSARD Dispatcher seniority date and DOH of 5/13/48 Per the Dec 1968 dispatchers seniority list.
