Hello all.
I am curious to know, if someone can shed a light on the requirements and possibilitys for a dispatch licence in Europe?
I am currently working as a OPS load controller for a big german charter airline. I am not directly employed with them for reasons of saving money. They wont accept any new staff at the moment. Never the less I do OPS stuff like load control/planning, ground to air communication, writing movments etc. but no route planning, slot coordination etc.
I am experienced with a wide variety of aircraft including widebodys like A330s.
The job is good fun and I like what I am doing for almost three years now.
But still, I am tempted to learn more about dispatch. I allready work with a dispatch programm (
www.danur.com) at home and create routes I fly in flightsim (its more realistic than some might think, dont bash for doing flightsim stuff).
Therefore I really would like to get into the dispatch stuff.
What possibilitys are there in europe to get such a licence for a fair ammount of money? The thing that Lufthansa offers is to expensive and I have not heared of others yet. Only that it is also somehow possible to obtain a licence in the US. Is this licence valid in europe?
Some hints and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards and thanks in advance.
Jan
