This is one of the BEST ways to get involved in flight operations. And you can do it when you can't hold a pilot's medical certificate! What else do you want to learn about the operations side of airlines?
I was a pilot that had a medical issue come up early in life and that killed my career so I became a dispatcher. Over the years I moved up from a very small airline to a major international one/. It was a great choice. I actually got to ride in the cockpit of a wide variety of aircraft. I also got the chance to really see the world. It is a great job. Fascinating, rewarding, well paying with lots of travel and benefits. I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a career in aviation.
That dispatcher in the purple shirt explaining the routes on the computer screen is a champion in my book, has his own youtube channel if you search "Pip Hastings" if you are trying to become a dispatcher and want to know how to get involved or know the process of how to get your license and all that I would highly recommend. He was more than willing to answer my questions, and now I have successfully gotten hired as a Part 121 dispatcher at an airline :)
I actually just did this with United’s downtown one. Had the opportunity to sit with dispatch and crew schedulers and a few others. Great eye opener to see what else is going on while I’m on the ramp loading that flight.
I love your videos Mr Martin. Dispatching for an airline has been a dream for a while now, but I'm too old now. The equipment, hardware and software, and technology is/are so much more improved than what was around when I was your age. Get up the good work with the videos my friend.
Go do a walk around on their aircraft and work 1 week for them and you’ll change your mind. Main line carries are the only ones you want to fly on and work for. United, AA, Southwest & Alaska are the only the only Airlines I recommend.
@@PopuleuxMusic and no you can start at any mainline airline instead of starting at their regional counterpart. Envoy and American are completely 2 different companies now since the last bankruptcy
I’m a dispatcher for BA so it’s awesome to see how other airlines operate and the role their dispatcher plays! Also nice shot of our Speedbird 74 towards the end there too ;) great vid as always!
i want to be a commercial airplane pilot when i grow up, and these videos are really teaching me a lot about planes, and everything i didn’t really know about. your videos are both fun to watch and really educational, keep doing what you do
Love your videos! Ever since I took my first flight recently, I was fascinated with how complex airports and the communication required for one plane to take off and land safely, you really bring a great insight onto how this works and I love it. Keep up the good content!
Hey Mr. Martin! Thanks so much for your videos! I’m starting my private pilot certificate now and it’s so helpful to have someone who’s gone through the process as it can be quite confusing at times! Keep up the awesome work and good luck in your progressing career!
Great insights into the dispatcher side! We have dispatch at our airline academy and it’s been a very educational introduction! Lol! Awesome video as always Swayne!
Really nice job, Swayne. You're providing a valuable narrative from the airline industry to the flying public - explaining how behind-the-scenes teamwork and communication contributes towards flight safety. Great way to advertise cool jobs as well! From a GA perspective, while filing a flight plan is definitely not relying on the FAA to be my dispatcher, there was a common thread. On one flight, I cancelled from the air (and luckily captured the controller's initials), which was somehow not cancelled in the system. By the time I got back to home field, the Air Force was calling about to scramble the CAP for SAR. Realizing how important filing flight plans are, and knowing how seriously it's taken behind-the-scenes, it inspired me to join the CAP as a 1LT Safety Officer. This video was really valuable to the flying public, and also for us GA folk, to be a part of the system -- including asking for flight following.
0:44 So this is where Santa is for the rest of the year! Thanks for the insight Swayne. Dispatch (or Operations as we call it here at my Airline in Europe) is definitely the second best to actually flying the airplane. So many variables and things that can (and do!) go on. Never a dull moment.
One thing dispatchers are legally responsible for 50% of the flight and they have to sign off on it. They also have to have like 5 hours in the flight deck a year.
You have a video collection to be proud of Swayne-growing up in Australia as a boy I dreamed of being a pilot but ended up in the media as a radio announcer/journalist! I am now retired and living in Thailand-and watching your wonderful videos lets me live the dream through your eyes....I wish you continued happiness and success in your career....godspeed...
I got my PPL and instrument rating 10 years ago out of high school. Career outlook for pilots wasn't great then so switched fields. I'm getting back into aviation and am currently enrolled in the Dispatcher course. Hopefully one day make it back into the air as a pilot but this seems like an awesome way to get back into things. Just discovered your channel and apart from looking really good in uniform, you're really encouraging and inspiring which makes me so much more excited about chasing my dreams. Thank you sir!
All your videos are awesome, but I particularly love this one and any others where you share other avenues to get into the aviation industry for those of us who can't become pilots for one reason or another. Thank you for the invaluable insight.
Just got off your Memphis to Chicago flight. Didn’t get a chance to tell you that I’ve been a fan of your videos for a couple years now and thought it was really cool that you just so happened to be one of the pilots for my flight today.
Ryan14VT Sage advice.... turn the other way, get an inexpensive college degree in any major that interests you (engineering?) then earn CPL MEL CFI CFII during summers or on your own time. It will cost a lot less, gives you a degree that’s useful for something other than just flying, and there will actually be a good female ratio at school. At your age interests change, the industry can change, or medical certs. Can be in jeopardy. These flying colleges can be an expensive way to box you into one vocation.
Swayne, I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos and look forward to seeing when you post new content. I'm currently a truck driver and have always wanted to be an airline pilot, which I am looking into doing within the next year. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe.
I'm in the ATC program at my university and one of the required courses is Aircraft Dispatch and at the end of the course you are eligible to take the Dispatch written and practical and I'm gonna get it just incase I either never get the ATC job or end up losing my medical
I think a cool thing you could do is interview other pilots as like a podcast or something, about there paths to mainline/regional and general things that are happening in the industry like strikes new regs ext.
Thank you SO much for this video. I have been looking down the dispatcher path for a while and this video solidified my desire to make a career out of this
*I admire and appreciate the dispatch peeps at my job! I'm just a ramp rat, I wouldn't want the responsibility of their job.... yet, I AM pursuing my IFR (2nd pilot license) so being a pilot has a lot of responsibility too. Great video and insight! Quality as always.* :)
The FAA dispatch system is quite unique. Over here in europe in contrast there will be OFPs (operational flight plans) prepared usually automatically by a flight planning system taking into account current ATC restrictions, weather and least cost options. The flight crew reviews it, and is free to change the fuel uplift without consultation of the OCC. Even if tankering is planned, they can decide not to tanker for whatever reason, or to take more fuel than originally planned as long as it is within the weight limits. Rerouting would require a call to OCC, but that is rarely done, usually just to navigate around or above or below an overloaded ATC sector to avoid a slot. Dispatchers can be certified under EASA rules, but there is no requirement to have certified dispatchers in the OCC at any given time. In a previous airline i worked for there was usually at most one certified dispatcher present in the OCC who usually worked exclusively on longhaul flights who need a bit more tweaking to the automatic generated flight plans. 90% of our flights had no access to the certified dispatcher though. I am not even aware if my current one has certified dispatchers at all, since we don't do longhauf flights there is most probably no need for them. Since our OCC is three countries over, i certainly won't pop by anytime soon to check that out ;)
Awesome video, nice view of the operations department. I'm a flight dispatcher in general aviation and not often the people know about what we do in this profession. Regards.
Love watching your videos Swayne! I'm a junior in college and although I don"t intend to become a commercial pilot, you've inspired me to work towards getting my private license!
Happy one year to this awesome video! Dude, I saw this and sat with it a while, asked around and ended up getting my dispatch license back in August.... so thanks for making this video. You've inspired me into a new career!
I'm a big fan of all your videos and they're a great foresight into what I'm getting myself into in the next couple of years. Thanks and please never stop making videos!
Hello from a new subscriber to your channel! I'm not a pilot, nor aspire to be, I'm too old...but I'm an aviation enthusiast! :) I really appreciate all of your content, and the work that goes into creating each video. I do fly a lot between the west and east coast, and I take a lot of commuter flights to my final destination...and your content makes me feel just a little better about the pilot of my commuter flights :) Thank you! :)
So interesting to see how different a flight dispatcher is in the USA. I worked as a dispatcher for a groundhandler at Amsterdam Schiphol and we had load control at one side and the our own OCC at the otherside. We recieved all documents such as flightplans from the airline OCC and forwarded this to the crew. Basically I acted as a trouble solver during turn-around, in case I identified any trouble I called the airline OCC to discuss the issues.
I love your video style! It is very clean looking, and very attractive to watch. Could you record one of the shorter erj145 flights, and post it, unedited, on TH-cam? I think it would be really cool to see everything that goes on.
Thanks Swayne for this video. Only few pilots would do a video of their flight dispatch. And that's really sad because they do in the shadow an crucial job. Without them we couldn't fly as conveniently as we do or we couldn't do a 4 or 5 leg day if we had to do all the paper work related to each flight we operate. Beside on your side of Atlantic they are issued a certificate on the same plastic card as pilot, proof of recognition that they are doing a real qualified job regardless how some pilots treat them sometime. And most of the time you find some people passionate by their jobs and aviation having to take decisions like we do in our aircrafts in order to keep the day running smoothly. Our job is a teamwork and they do their part of the work. I wish you could to a video where you would go more in depth of their work something like a 20-min video. With interviews of ops agents and show your viewers what back office work brings to us in our cockpits !
I'll say it again Swayne, another great video. Learned a bit I didn't know on this tour. Appreciate you and the time it takes to do this. Grateful. Looking forward to seeing you in that left seat down the road. Again, Thanks.
Swayne, I enjoy your videos. I have always wanted to see a dispatch center so this viewing was great. Someday my wish will come true. Keep you your videos
An MEL for those who dont know is when fuelers, like me, have to drop the drip sticks when an aircraft has a broken, malfunctioning fuel panel so we can get an exact arrival and requested departure load of fuel on to the airplane
It also covers everything from anti-skid out to Captains window heat not working. The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) covers just about everything that can be broken yet not cancel the flight. It is something all dispatchers deal with multiple times a day. It's part of the fun. 😁
Thank you Swayne, I am just about to start my airline career, I am excited. I have enjoyed your videos to help me understand what I am about to get signed up for. Envoy should be very happy with the videos you make. Your professional and are very good at narrating, well done with your videos please keep them going for us new comers. Well done
I use to work MOC for American Eagle before it turned into Envoy. I recognize a lot of those dispatchers and maintenance controllers!! Most of those ERJ's you fly on I have either wrenched on or guided others to get them A1! Great video and thanks!!
A very interesting and informative video... been watching for years, keep up the hard work, can’t wait to see you make captain. And keep the videos coming
I’ve been trucking since I was 18 and always had a passion for dispatch. Airline dispatching I’m sure would not only be a challenge but quite an experience.
This is one of the BEST ways to get involved in flight operations. And you can do it when you can't hold a pilot's medical certificate! What else do you want to learn about the operations side of airlines?
Swayne Martin I’d love to learn about the pilots life for international long haul routes
Watching this vídeo from Cape Verde
I like the content you bring
could you give us a description about the ins and outs of American Airlines?
Also, I think I asked a question that you missed... "Do American Airlines pilots come over to Envoy (American Eagle) to coach American Eagle pilots?"
As a previous flight dispatcher myself. I’d say it was the toughest job i ever had and I appreciated whenever the pilots treated us as colleagues.
And how many jobs have you ever had
And why you’ve decided to quit as a flight dispatcher?
I was a pilot that had a medical issue come up early in life and that killed my career so I became a dispatcher. Over the years I moved up from a very small airline to a major international one/. It was a great choice. I actually got to ride in the cockpit of a wide variety of aircraft. I also got the chance to really see the world. It is a great job. Fascinating, rewarding, well paying with lots of travel and benefits. I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a career in aviation.
Hi, do you mind sharing what was the medical issue?
It was a heart issue. It ended up disqualifying me for my medical certificate. Fortunately there is no medical requirement for a dispatcher!
@@jamesthompson3099 thanks for letting me know. I'm 21, but heart often skips beats, I'm so worried if I'll pass medical exam or not.

I was able to take a tour of United's dispatch center at Ohare, really changes you're perspective on flying

Diddo to that
Party poster 555 so lucky! I’m looking to get flight lessons, but have no clue where to go. Do you know about how much yours costed?
I think better of Envoy Air because they approved the filming of this video. Very good video.
I think a lot of airlines would benefit from approving videos like this. In fact, any airline would.
Go do a walk around on their aircraft and work 1 week for them and you’ll change your mind. Main line carries are the only ones you want to fly on and work for. United, AA, Southwest & Alaska are the only the only Airlines I recommend.
@@il94z12 you have to work for regional like Envoy for American or Skywest for United and Horizon for Alaska to work for majors

You made this right on time as I begin my dispatch training with Sheffield. I used to be an avionics technician but this seems way more fun!
Kelly,how was your training at Sheffield ?I plan on joining next year
Did you make it through? What are your thoughts after transitioning from avionics tech?
I dispatch for one of the legacy carriers. LOVE doing it and doing what I can to make it easier for the pilots. I do mostly Europe to US flights.
Which airline do you fly?

Ryan14VT Sage advice.... turn the other way, get an inexpensive college degree in any major that interests you (engineering?) then earn CPL MEL CFI CFII during summers or on your own time. It will cost a lot less, gives you a degree that’s useful for something other than just flying, and there will actually be a good female ratio at school. At your age interests change, the industry can change, or medical certs. Can be in jeopardy. These flying colleges can be an expensive way to box you into one vocation.

A very interesting and informative video... been watching for years, keep up the hard work, can’t wait to see you make captain. And keep the videos coming
This is awesome! Thank you for all the work this video took!
Another great video. Love the quality.
Another excellent presentation, thanks Swayne. 😃👌👌👌
Great video! You made some excellent points, it is a great career, also some decent money!
I’ve been trucking since I was 18 and always had a passion for dispatch. Airline dispatching I’m sure would not only be a challenge but quite an experience.
