A dispatcher/tco is the best job in the airport. Its a challenging job, but its good fun and every day is different.

However, the wages are diabolical for the amount of hassle you get when something goes wrong, and also for the amount of responsibility the position carries.That is unless you can get a job with VS or BA doing it, but they are like hens teeth and only at certain airports.

Its been rather frustating over the years having a license running concurrently for BA and VS, but being paid not much more than minimum wage for it, when the folk employed by those airlines are earning circa £30k per year for only requiiring to be knowlegable on one airlines procedures and regulations!!

On the other hand Ive worked hard and my employer have been good to me and ive been rewarded for it so its not all bad on that front.
