In This Episode We Discuss:
- Landing at St. Martin
- With the recent surge in automated flight capabilities will there be an increased risk of furlough?
- Can the Aircraft Dispatcher Course at Polk State College be taken online?
- Are there any current flight scholarships that might suit someone in my situation?
- I’m worried that I will be forever denied a medical clearance because I had trouble in the past with feeling depressed and abusing alcohol.
Did you know that an aircraft dispatcher shares fifty percent of the operational control of a flight with a captain? A career as an aircraft dispatcher can be both rewarding and is not very well known by the traveling public. Today I have with me Mike Karrels who will help us understand the role of a dispatcher and discuss the rewarding and lucrative career of an airline dispatcher.
What does an aircraft scheduler do? How do you become a flight dispatcher? What is it like to be a corporate flight attendant? What jobs are available in all of these fields?
