I dislike Virg. (Branson ughhhh!)
But thats the best money you'll get at lhr for being a Dispatcher.
Am not saying its great but,
Handling agents at LHR mainly pay up to £20k all in. Atleast its a bit more and your shift pay is on top. Also you don't have to deal with some of the s**t that comes into Heathrow (PIA, Sudan, AI, - s**t planes, U/S holds, tech delays).you probrably don't run your arse off too much.
Plus Girlies in red uniforms!!!(and free flights)
Plus its an easy job, loadsheets done by GHi, NOTOC by VS cargo, AAA done by VS baggage.
Think I'll apply!

Ok so feel free to call me thick ... I am probably just going blind, but I've just looked on the recruitment section of the virgin atlantic website and can't see this dispatch job on there!!
Can you give me the web address, or post a link on here!

FEBA,
It is possible to live around LHR on that money. Just depends on what sort of standard of living you have, but it's possible to rent a nice houce and have a nice car with it. Just can't afford to buy around here though, but thats the same for everyone not just airline staff.
Alphacharlie,
According to the advert, the website is

It's not a question of what I think. Having lived in the area all my life I doubt whether you could buy a house on that sort of money, within commutable distance, and have some quality of life. Do you disagree with this? Are you advocating a lower salary?

It probably isnt possible to live close to LHR in your own house on that kind of money. I guess either renting a room or commuting are the only options. I personally would not apply because of that.
However, not everyone will wish to stay as dispatcher for their entire career in aviation. I understand some re-fuellers earn a lot more.

I appreciate that everyone has to start somewhere and one of the best places to start is LHR and a big long haul glam airline like VS. It's just a pity that VS are too tight to reward the enthusiasm.
Good luck with your career, I hope it's all upwards for you.
