Narrative:

This flight departure dtw and shortly after takeoff the crew got a right air conditioner high temperature supply indication. This flight returned to dtw west/O dispatch knowledge or concurrence. The first I (as the dispatcher) knew that this flight had a problem was after it was already back in the blocks at dtw. The one and only time the crew contacted the dispatch office was to request their flight plan be refiled.
