Narrative:
Single segment dispatch is inherently unsafe if pilots are not given the proper facilities to make use of it. The room provided in xxy is wholly inadequate. The room is no larger than a closet; and not of sufficient size for more than 1 pilot and their bags to be in. Additionally; the printer is broken here again and nobody answers the phone number we are given on the wall to support it. How can we safely plan our flts; use good CRM and agree about WX/fuel loadsecond officerther planning considerations if we are given wholly inadequate facilities to plan? Either support the pilots with the tools we need to do our jobs; or we will have an accident that will be directly related to inadequate support of flight crews to do far required planning by the company. This is not an operations report on purpose! Send it to; and involve the FAA on this issue. The company is not providing us with adequate facilities to plan our flts in accordance with the FARS.
