I would advise anyone looking at this job posting to take into account that you are going to be very junior for an extended period of time. Probably a decade or two.
If you are older than age 30, you are not ever going to hold a Pacific AM/PM line and might get a junior Europe or Latin AM/PM line after ten years.
In the 2026 dispatch schedule bid, you had to be in the top 85 out of 420 dispatchers to hold a Pacific AM/PM shift. Most of those 85 will probably be retired in five years or so but the 335 dispatchers that dont have the seniority right now for Pacific are largely younger than age 45.
Its not much better for holding Europe or Latin AM/PM lines.
The company added a ton of international qualifications for new dispatchers to pick up after covid hiring boom. It will be difficult to even get
moved to Europe from domestic to cover vacations and sick calls.
If you want to work international flying, go to Delta or United or be ready for a long stay on international midnights. Even those go somewhat senior here as well.
If you like domestic flying and midnight shifts with a regional workload, you will love working for us.

Now being told we are looking to hire 20-30 by end of the year, in 1-2 classes. Just waiting on official accountant approval. We anticipate 5% growth next year, so we want to be staffed for it by next summer.
Also heard Frontier is looking to use FKYs?

Last I heard Frontier is close to going live with FPM, unless something has changed recently.
