Or the company doesn't have a separate internal hiring site?Usually dispatch instructor jobs are filled internally and come from inside the dispatch group. It is a huge red flag about the job or company if the airline is hiring this externally. It means the job is either undesirable with crappy pay or work rules or management feels the current dispatch group is extremely poor and incompetent.

They’re looking at both internals and externals. Last time it was posted the same way.
Though there isn’t much attrition on the floor.
Instructing is a lot more than just being able to speak JetBlue, or Southwest, or Delta, etc. Any Schmo can stand in front of a class and read the Ops Specs off a PowerPoint slide. It takes a special kind of Schmo to get the people in the class to WANT to read along. Maybe they have someone like that in-house. Maybe they don't.
It's not necessarily a negative reflection on the company that they don't fill it internally. It's been my experience that most dispatchers don't want to leave their comfort zone. They just want to crank out their 40 or 50 releases each day and go home. Stepping into an instructor's role requires a level of work and dedication that they're not willing to commit to.
Several years ago, I remember FEDEX doing the same thing as they were looking to add a dispatcher instructor.
Word is B6 just hired a dispatch instructor externally.
