Hello there,
Im a new member of this forum and a newbie to the industry having only been in it for 6 months.
Im currently an operations assistant for a schedualed airline at gatwick and loving it, however ive always wanted to become a dispatcher. My aim was to gain experiance and move on to a dispatch job, however after my searching through web pages and recruitment papers i have found that vacencies for dispatch jobs in the UK are non-existant. Am i going about this the wrong way? Shud i be looking for ramp jobs and move on from there? Whats the best way to get into dispatch? Another dilema i have is since working in airline ops a few people have sugested that going from Ops to dispatch is a move in the wrong direction as many people move from dispatch to ops. Just wanted to get some adivce from people well established in the industry, im not out to find the job which pays the most but we all have to feed ourselves and our familes, can experianced dispatchers earn good wages? As you can probally tell im really in the dark about dispatching so sorry about all the questions any help and advice will be great.
Thanks for reading
