Hey guys,
Anyone out there dispatching?? Just looking for any feedback on this career. I took the course and passed one of the two exams. i hope to get the second outta of the way within the next 2 weeks.
What's life like as a dispatcher?? What does it take to get in to AC?? Anyone know the schedule and salary at the majors??
Any and all info is great.
Thanks

I dispatched before I finally landed my first flying job. I loved the job and learned a lot about the day to day operation of an airline.
The last year I was dispatching I made 40k plus at an airline operating 703, 704 and 705 aircraft. The schedule was great.......worked only about 6 months a year with the option of overtime.
To all those 250 hour guys/girls out there who are looking to get their foot in the door at an airline and don't really want to work the ramp, dispatching is a great way to go. You get to deal with management on a daily basis and, if you prove yourself there, your résumé will stand out in the pile on these managers desks once the spring hiring starts.
Best of Luck,
