Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated. It seems to be very hard to get into Airline Ops without any experience (catch 22 eh, where do you get the experience!) after running a search it seems that many of you ops guys come from flight dispatch backgrounds (or internal vacancies within the company), but I feel that Emerald is giving people the opportunity to train and work in the ops dept from day one so more power to them. Again though the replies are appreciated.
