Being a dispatcher was also a plus at interviews, and now on the line.
What was the reaction when you said you were a Dispatcher ?. I'm hoping that it will be looked on very favourably by potential employers (even though we are not always the most popular people with the f/crew !!) as it could come in very useful in some situations. I'm currently a Dispatcher - have been for around 11 years, and now doing ATPL ground school !!.

Give Servisair (or whatever they are called this month) and Aviance a try at your local airport.
It can be quite difficult to get into Dispatching though as most companies only recruit from with-in or if they do recruit externally they usually only take on people with experience. From what I've seen having and ATPL can be a bonus, but it can also backfire on you getting the job in the first place as the employer will know right away that as soon as an offer of a flying job comes along you will be off.
