Hello all,
I was a dispatcher for 7 years at Edinburgh working for Servisair whist i trained for my atpl. The job for me was great, got to meet alot of great people and work in the airport which to me was like no other place id ever worked. At the time i joined directly into dispatch but I believe now you have to complete 6 months checkin before being considered.BA and BMI are the only airlines which employ thier own staff (At edinburgh anyway) and they are much better paid but require time served before being considered. Try Servisair or Menzies aviation for fast track.
Hope this helps
