However, there are thousands of people working behind the scenes to make the air travel industry run. If you want to apply for a job at an airline, there are many exciting possibilities you might want to consider.
During these Deep Dive videos Airways will showcase different interviews and information from industry insiders to learn more about their specific jobs and the ins and outs of commercial aviation.

Retired dispatcher here. Nice overview but it gave very little detail regarding what we actually do. Once I got hired as a dispatcher I loved it so much that I felt like at that point I quit working for a living. The airline was paying me to do my hobby. Being a dispatcher was a wonderful, wonderful experience.
Which airlines do you work for?
Compass Airlines. Regional that flew for Delta and American. Unfortunately it went out of business in April 2020 due to COVID, one week after I retired.
did you feel comfortable working this job ,they say there is lot of pressure !!?
@@lyeshaouam3228 Some days were hard, especially when weather was bad over a large part of the country bu mainly the stress wasn’t that bad. I enjoyed it.
@@garyodle5663 thank you for the feedback I appreciate I think I will be a flight dispatcher
Best job ever. I taught flying for 4 years.. I was not a military pilot and back then no way an airline would hire me. Then I became an Aircraft Dispatcher. Best job in the world. I jump seated (sat in the cockpit required by the FAA) I saw the world and was paid very well. Pilots see the world however they shlep thru airports, miss kids birthdays.
I have 9yrs with an Major Airlines. 8 yrs working on the Ramp as a Fleet Service Agent and 1yr working in Stores as an Material Logistics Specialist current job. I want to do something else don't get me wrong both jobs was great but now i want to be more relaxed no more lifting or loading anything I thought of an Career change in Airline Dispatcher i starrt school July 2024 I came here to get more insight of it so far im told its a wonderful career😊
I was dating a lady who was a dispatcher for Continental, until the United takeover. She loved it but was a very intense job.
Dispatched for Continental back in the 80s and knew many who moved to Houston then to Chicago for the merger.
Thanks for showing the world what we do!

Does anyone know good airlines to work for in Europe as a flight dispatcher? Im from The Netherlands and studied Aviation Operations (4yrs bachelor degree). I think this job is the one
Hi man! Dispatcher here, where do you live?
Hi can anyone please guide me how can I convert Flight operation officer license from Pakistan CAA to any other countries like usa uk and any country from Europe.
reddit might be a place to ask
no
Do flight dispatchers require a class 2 medical?
No
Where can l study this in USA or Canada? Helppp!!
Study the CARs, TC AIM and FTGU and then wrote the FD Ops and FD Met exams. You can also take a course if you want, but don’t need to. There’s a study guide on the Transport Canada website which will point you to which topics you need to know. It’s a lot of information to digest.
do flight dispatchers do a lot of walking and standing?
Exact opposite. They do encourage you to stand up and move around a bit but the job requires you to be vigilant and both follow flights as they progress and set up flights before they are scheduled to take off
@@MrMudslap ok that’s actually great news , because i can’t stand for long times . Thank you for answering my question
@@BiggBaggDG I just completed my indoc class for a regional and yeah if you don't like sitting at a desk working with computers with some new thing to do everyday than you may want to look elsewhere. It's exciting and the market needs dispatchers and mechanics so not bad
Would anybody happen to know of a flight dispatcher school in Los Angeles?
Mt. Sac
@@marcusgarza568 thanks slick. By chance, would happen to know SB Aviation in Van Nuys. It would be helpful to get your comments on the schooling experience there, should you know them.
katy is pretty and smart
Do you really need to be great at math for this job?
Not really, it's just basic math you have to know. The computers do all the math for you
Do you feel that someone who has Autism can successfully be an aircraft dispatcher?
everything is possible
Elon musk is autistic
Salary for flight dispatcher
30k starting for regional. Major over 100k.
