I find this part hard to believe. I cannot figure out why it matters what they call themselves so long as the service is still provided. I'd be happy to hear announcements from the Grand Poohbah so long as it also meant that the actual service remains.

Is it that hard to understand what Flight Service Coordinator or International Service Manager mean? Given that the words used in the title actually describe the position that makes no sense to me at all.

How is either title more or less professional than the other?
