We could use them at Newark airport these days, for sure.Do bookers have a second career option as say, air traffic controllers ? Seems the ability to juggle on the fly and stress levels are similar

Truthfully, a booker is basically a logistic manager with horny clients. Especially if it's like an outcall only like vog with their drivers. If you are juggling like 10 to 20 girls with small timeframe and client service. There is a lot to deal with. Not an easy job.Very interesting thread.
My current favourite is Forever, though I've had also good experiences with a couple of other agencies.
My professional life is totally outside of this world (I guess that's the case for most users of this site), I'm curious about how the agencies function "behind the scenes". One thing I've heard from providers is that the booker's job is very hard. Apparently some bookers are rockstars who can juggle hundreds of text messages a day without dropping a single ball. Others, not so much. Maybe that explains some of the hit/miss experiences I've had while booking.
If ever someone writes "A day in the life of an agency owner" or "A day in the life of an agency booker", I would read it!
I would chime in and saw cost is a huge started point, Indy’s are 400-1000k/hr agency are 250-300$. Indy has less bookings and certainly can be more reliable but outside my last trip I don’t think I had a single agency booking issue. Vog had a duo and both cancelled on me once night but the booker was awesome and scrambled for me and appreciate the efforts, I got gifts for bookers last trip, has a picky customer I ask a lot of questions as have certain likes and requests and with agency they look for answers, Indy is usually we can talk about that face to face and half the time don’t do what I want.I honestly can see virtually no reason at all to use agencies and reading through here I struggle to understand why people continue to do so. The single benefit used to be that you could book someone on short notice if you were coming in from out of town or some such and these days everyone complains about how difficult it is to book someone at all through the agencies, or at least the "good" ones. I can't speak to that personally lately because I haven't used agencies for years, but that seems to be a regular board comment these days, with respect to the difficulty in booking. My viewpoint is clearly going to be different than that of some of the guys here, but the rigidity, lack of flexibility and the booking hurdles make agencies an absolute last resort from my standpoint. Still, I get that my approach to stuff is not the standard approach and I have no doubt that some guys see benefits in it that I don't, with everyone's use case being different.
Indies are more expensive, there are much fewer I want to see, and they are more trouble to book and tend to flake more. In Montreal I see little reason not to use agencies.I honestly can see virtually no reason at all to use agencies and reading through here I struggle to understand why people continue to do so.

so where are you finding them?I'm not sure why the immediate perception seems to be that Indies are the only other default alternative, although I agree with you generally speaking on your observation about booking them, allowing for exceptions of course. There are reliable and reputable indies just as there are generally reliable agencies. Having said that, if you have personal reasons why agencies better for you then that's fine. I mean no disrespect to your preferences. I don't gainsay anybody's approach to how they want to monger. I just don't understand it myself. I find the rigidity and the restrictions onerous. Again, my experience and my outlook aren't standard for the general community here, so my approach is different. What works for me needn't apply to others.

I don't use either agencies or the local indies anymore. My experience abroad taught me that I like to pay by the session off the clock, not by the hour, and that it's better not to pay deposits or provide private screening info. I developed a circle of ladies outside the usual system that I can see in between trips and for the quick and dirty on short notice I go to an mp.so where are you finding them?
I totally agree. To each their own, as you said. Agency vs Indies is a personal choice, there are pros and cons to each one.I'm not sure why the immediate perception seems to be that Indies are the only other default alternative, although I agree with you generally speaking on your observation about booking them, allowing for exceptions of course.
