Dispatch qualification
"A licence is only required in the USA, Canada and some countries in the Gulf" Wrong!
Many European countries have a State qualification (licence) for dispatchers... Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavian countries...exceptions are France, UK, Ireland and a few others
Many Far East, Latin America and South American have State licences for dispatchers.
ICAO Document 7192 is the only official syllabus for the Flight Operations Officer/
Aircraft Dispatcher.
Aircraft Dispatcher and Flight Operations Officer (FOO) refer to the same profession. The term FOO is used in most European countries.
