Relax dude - I referenced the exact source, which made it sound like the 5 dispatchers "on loan" were part of the 21 total, with 3 "additional" dispatchers in training. Blame the reporter for being ambiguous.

It doesn't matter if they have 5 dispatchers or 50 if they can't run a normal schedule for 3+ years. The number is irrelevant.

Imagine simping for the MBTA in 2023.
