OCNL EMBD
EASA, at least at my last reading, have rejected any idea of a requirement for a FDO license along the lines of the FAA, but there are looking at alternatvies, such as requiring a 'qualification' for FOO/FDO to ICAO Doc 7192.

Again OCNL comes up with a good idea re the cargo airlines, but even if you go back into loadmaster/loadcontrol type work- having the FAA dispatcher certificate under your belt is very good and might give you an advantage over others in the job search.
