I know that everybody in the airline industry hates them but if you want to be a Dispatcher then how about applying to Servisair . I did and it was to be the best and most rewarding job of my life so far . I left purely because I wanted to become a Pilot . In my case Servisair provided very little training for the job , after one week of shadowing another Dispatcher I was handed a radio and told to go and do it! But you soon learn quick , you have to because the Airline captains will soon tear you apart if you show the slightest sign of inexperience . Servisair dont pay great but once you have the experience you can move on to other Airlines .
PS The best bit is that all the female ground staff love Dispatchers , well they did at EGPD anyway!!!
