Dispatcher for a major carrier is hardly an entry level job. There are people, currently 'paying their dues' in regionals, same folks already have a degree too. Unless you're talking starting salary, then yes indeed it's pretty entry level.
Blaze, how do you get 45K? For what job? Do first and second year folks get "bonuses"?
Me thinks you work for WN!!
The current AA dipatcher posting states, "starting monthly rate of $2,793.00 ($2,206.47 while in training)"
That's 33,515/annum
Legacy US and Legacy AA did their interviews completely differently premerger. Legacy AA has been using a much criticized group interview process where Legacy US has used a targeted selection process which is a lot more one on one, as Legacy AA most recently hired exclusively based on the group interview with no one on one at all. Both sides do a written test. One thing with the AA process is that the main person doing the interviewing has in the past usually been JP or FP as officers of 542. I don't want to rehash the union debate on here though.Bruin, what do you mean by format?
Flagship goes into detail.
Well...it's a major...the top out is way better...with the merger you have better security than at any regional....and when a new contract is reached by whoever represents the joint group the starting pay should go up quite a bitI kinda agree with Troy, there's not much incentive to leave a regional with 5 years experience to go make 2nd or 3rd year regional pay again. It floors me how they attract talent with such a pitiful starting wage.
