Just a thought....

Does anyone here believe that a career on the ground at an airport could benefit them in getting an Airline job?

For example, many Despatchers I know are studying for ATPL's or have a frozen ATPL. Would their knowledge of ground operations necessarily be an advantage over a similarly (in)experienced applicant on level terms? I would think that this experience would certainly help when trying to coordinate a turnaround efficiently, which ladies and gents, is NOT asking for a water and waste service at -10 to STD....
