This in-depth interview with an aircraft dispatcher friend (and former student) delves deeply into re-dispatch and re-release, sometimes called re-clear, flight plans. This flight planning method is sometimes used at part 121 air carriers operating under flag rules to add payload and save on the required amount of extra fuel required for longer international flights. Please note that this video details operations at one airline and is not intended to be a guide to operations specifics at any airline in particular. You must learn and understand your own company procedures when dispatching or operating under operations specification (ops spec) B044 or whatever rules apply to your operations.
A few clarifications from a dispatch examiner: The 10% is calculated by total time of the flight. Within B044 the rules for Flag/Supplemental are the same whether it is called re-dispatch/release respectively.
The 10% of time (in fuel minutes) is still required at the re-dispatch point but by breaking up the flight, you will have the required amount of fuel for each segment which is how you "free" up the fuel.
Concurrence between PIC and dispatcher must occur within 2 hours of reaching the re-dispatch waypoint, but how it is actually done is up to each carrier and part of the specific airline's Ops Spec approval.

Always remember that Laura, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot and a dispatcher. She is explaining facts from the source materials but may be incorrect or out of date. You should always follow your primary guidance (aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to anything from this RU-vid channel.
