where do you work then, 750?

I am a ground handler and have been for 4 years now and I absoloutly love every day that im in. Even though you dream of being a dispatcher, I would honestly say do some check-in for a while and some baggage handling and ramp operations as well if you want to, as then when you and your employer are ready to accept you for dispatch, you already have a wide knowledge of all the different areas and departments involved to help get that plane off the ground.

It may mean doing check-in and ramp side of things for 6 months to even a year before doing dispatch, but then at least you will have a broader perspective when you do eventually do dispatch, and treat us lot at front of house a bit kinder to not issuing us with any delays

Hope this helps

All the best of luck to you!
