Dispatcher - A foot in the door?
Hi everyone,
I have a dilemma that I would really appreciate some advice on. I have tried and tried to get into the aviation industry and had so far been unlucky. In the mean time I have obtained a masters degree and a job in a large multi-national food company on a decent wage / good working hours / secure etc, and been doing this for 8 months. I recently speculatively applied for a Flight Dispatcher Role at MAN, which I fortunately got. Unfortunately as I’m sure you all well aware, the post is over 50% reduction in salary, part time temporary contract, with a guaranteed 25 hours a week, although the rota works out as approx 30. I see this as a "stepping stone" into aviation after a few years of doing it, am I correct in thinking this and what options may be open to me in the future?
Thanks
