Well peoples, I am now officially a fully signed off aircraft dispatcher! Passed my comm check, did my jumpseating the last 2 days! That was quite fun and interesting. I did our Dash 8s on Tues. Did the CRJ 900s yesterday. LOVE the CRJs. Awsome plane. Wish me luck...start my first shift saturday morning, 245 am. I get the Denver, CO dash desk...that should be fun.
 
That's rough. It sucks enough getting up at that time to go in. Are you folks on four 10's a week?

Yes, we are. So at least I have 3 days off in a row, although its the middle of the week, but that is ok for now. I had a good first day this morning. I wasnt actually supposed to work today, but someone couldnt make it in, so I got 5 hours of overtime.

Same here, I am on Wed-Sat. It's nice working weekends. I can wear jeans, none of the corporate minions are there to bother me, and it's nice going out on a Mon night ... nothing is crowded. Well good luck, can be a fun job on most days. Just out of curiosity, how many flights do you all do a day?

I would say around 30, give or take

Congratulations! I always enjoyed the Dash desk when I worked at Mesa. Cool destinations. Of course I'm sure they've changed a bit since I left there since that's been almost 10 years ago...

Congrats man! I remember when I got signed off too. But of course the funnest part of training was the fam flights. I was able to fly home up front and spend the night on the company's dime to see my folks. We deal with your Air Shuttle flights all the time at Sky Harbor. We escort your planes across the airfield from the terminal to your maintenance hangar and vice versa.
