Would this be a good move to get into something like this while foregoing the regionals for a year or two to see what develops? Or is the opportunity cost of a year or two of regional experience not worth it?

...y’all don’t know much about working for Amazon do you?

No one knows what Amazon is doing so if you want dispatch experience the only sure way is to go to a regional as opposed to working for Amazon now.

I wish people would stop talking about Dispatch as a means of getting experience, and start talking about it as a means of making a living.

When reading this it's those working NOT at a major.
I think once there is real recognition of what dispatchers do, better pay, and better working environments. This is my opinion. This is the reason I decided to leave the profession after 4ish years.

I've actually worked there before (not as a warehouse sorter (or whatever they call it now) and loved it (except for the doing 5 people's jobs and not being compensated as such, but hey, such is life when you are a lowly management-esque employee).

I'd go back based on my experience. Do you know something I don't?
 
Just read the following in a Cargo Facts article:

"The rapid growth has helped drive rumors that Amazon could develop its own-operated network in competition with the likes of major operators including FedEx and UPS, and the company is seemingly on its way – a 2016 contract with ATSG for twenty 767 freighters included a roughly 10% stake in ATSG. A similar deal with Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings was then announced just months later."
 
FYI one of the Amazon Air recruiters reached out to me on linked in regarding this job. Spoke with her on the phone. It’s not dispatchk it’s logistics coordination. You essential make sure Atlas and ABX are doing their • an getting it done correctly. Starting pay 55k, 100 matching 401k to 3% and stock discounts.

Well not if you want to Dispatch. But working in a growing department for one of the best fortune 500s? Yes please. But I’m not working in cincy, F that.

Ya I mean the making sure atlas and abx do their job. Lol. If you like running around with your hair on fire while starting new fires to put out the one from 7 days ago that turned into a 1000acre inferno because no one bothers looking more than 15 minutes in the future. Ya.
You'd have a stress induced stroke in 3 months.

Operational oversight and protecting the company’s interests. Doesn’t seem so bad to me. Maybe those with low stress tolerance but it’s like I always say, just roll with the chaos
 
Is anybody able to give more insight into this job? Preferably someone on the inside...or a fly on the wall

Have any of you guys heard of DHL, which amazon is currently using all their facilities at CVG. Amazon can sub contract the • of cargo airlines and be very profitable. DHL has dozens of airlines flying for them with hundreds of planes.

DHL and Amazon are completely different animals. Amazon just built and finally opened an absolutely humongous ramp in CVG.

This is a 3 year old post…but as others have said,the NCC folks do not have operational control of the Prime Air operation. They coordinate network routing and delays with the respective ACMI carriers.

You sure about that? Because they might not have operational control but still have "operational control" ask me how I know.

Being a dispatch forum I would surmise we all would relate operational control to 121.533. Obviously the NCC folks have “control” over their operations…but not the actual flights.
