So pretty much envoy and other airlines dx take priority than internals

I really don't see how that's your takeaway.

There are hundreds of qualified external applicants. How many internal applicants have years of scheduled 121 dispatch experience? If you choose to work somewhere in a non-dispatch role and think the company is gonna roll out the red carpet for you, you haven't spent much time in corporate America.

Except Delta. They love internals with no dx experience and hire more of them than externals. They love to hire within from the “family” and train them into their ideal dispatcher. Like right now they have a class of 20 internals only starting in October. I believe they have 1-2 internal classes or more a year but only 1 small external class a year. Whereas AA usually only hires a handful of internals each class. Usually 2-4 or so. Some of the internals take anywhere from 1-10 years to cross over to AA dx. Every airline’s different. All I know is AA strongly favors Envoy over all.

And Delta does not favor their own wholly-owned regional dispatchers. There are two sides to it.

And Southwest revoked offers for new hires in 2020, JetBlue specifically put JetBlue SOC experience preferred in their recent posting, and now Spirit is furloughing something like 30% of the dispatchers this year. No airline is perfect and fair. All you can do is apply and hope.
