My Friend
Slair,
Seems like you looking out for job opportunities, was at tht phase once in my life too.. Will give you some honest opinion looking at the market currently... not many companies are hiring the ones that are hiring, arent thinking twice before they fire someone..
You can either get into a dispatch unit or join a company as a controller in any flight support services jetex palm did to name a few...
this would get you the contacts and over an year or so you might be able to understand what we do in flight operations. the above is just a suggestion. it worked for me doesent always mean it should for you.
In cas of any more questions or querries please feel free to send in a pm or email, more than happy to help you.
