I'd consider what DISPapa has to say carefully. Evaluate the job market in the UK airlines by speaking with them; I have a feeling you'll find recruitment in ops is low, not least of which the failure of a number of airline's of late has put a good number of well experienced staff on the market, granted a year from now it might be different but with the way things are I doubt it.

But, if you do leave the RAF I'd recommend that you complete a ICAO 7192 D3 Flight Operations Officer/Flight Dispacthers (check out Bristol Ground School for courses), then move straight on and do the FAA Aircraft Dispatchers License- with those two you'll have both European Ops and FAA operations covered.

There are those you might tell you to do it the otherway round, and with your background it probably doesn't make any difference. Read back over this forum for much more on the subject.

By the way have you considered NATS?
