N77022 said:I also applied in December, and was interviewed early this month. The interview was very casual, which was awesome. Quick 20 question quiz which touched on everything from weather, to airport codes, to acronyms. A straight, to the point talk with manager, HR questions which were easily answered with previous experience aviation-related answers. After the interview I was told there would not be any offers made that day, but that they'd like to begin on some HR paperwork. I signed a several documents, was fingerprinted, and sent for a drug test. Roughly 2 weeks later, I received an offer letter. I'm taking about a $6/hour pay cut to take the job, but I'll be moving from a no-benefits, dead-end, contractor job to an actual airline dispatcher position, with benefits, and a world of opportunity. Hopefully this will provide some insight to all the lurkers like myself. I'm not looking forward to the drive to ATL.

FYI - if you plan on interviewing / applying - management is stalking potential candidates Facebook and/or LinkedIn profiles looking for you... Don't say you haven't been warned.
