Capt T, did the DX course with IFOD in Dallas who also claim to be the best in the business. Thier course is 5 weeks long and costs $4250. Quite a lot of home study though but not enough to keep from networking in the bar!

desperate-dispatchers!!!!
Okay, guys...
Its getting quite confusing… what I have is a FAA dispatcher license, and here in the states you do flightplanning with it, no ramp pax or baggage assistance, so how the heck should I qualify in the UK???? Anyway could it be really so bad to find this type of position in Europe? How do airlines issue a flightplan then??? Nways I just don’t wanna think I wasted 6 grand for nothing….
If u’re in dispatching then give me a clue…
