Blue Dog, what Hodgy says is correct. I have a C&G Adv Cert in Airline Ops and five and a half years exp as a cabin attendant. I thought I'd get a dispatch job no problem with all that experience and training. All anybody was prepared to offer me was check in at £180 a week.
Not a good time to be trying to get a break. With the number of experienced Ops guys out of work at the moment the chances of anyone new getting in to anything along these lines is remote.
Still, there's always next year.
