Hi MB2AI. I'm afraid that working your way up from the bottom and that is exactly what I did. However I graduated last year and got a job as a baggage handler in january, the ramp trainer was really supportive and told me that I could apply to get into the dispatch department for the summer season.
I handed my CV in and after just 3 months on the ramp I past the interview and became a dispatcher and they're keeping me on through the winter. I think most of it was luck and being in the right place at the right time but it just shows there is hope. I did an aerospace degree and I think they took this as some sort of experience.
But they do look for 1 year of airport experience before taking you on but as I said I was pretty lucky.
