Why aren't they forced to have mandatory minimum off duty (which means not on call either) hours of service like airplane pilots and truck drivers are made to adhere to.

That's completely inexcuseable.

$20 buys a lb of surgeon's brains.

$1000 buys a lb of dispatcher's brains.

Why the difference?

Think about it! How many displatchers would you have to kill to get a pound of brains?
