Hello all,
As the title says, I am a recently certified dispatcher on the west coast who has been applying and looking for jobs. I am being considered for a "Dispatcher" role at a Part 135 company. The pay is good, the location good, and overall the company seems good. A bit of background about me . . . I am new to the field of aviation. I have strong experience in my previous field and a strong resume. I have been applying to all Part 121 flight operation jobs (mostly regionals as recommended by these forums) I have seen the last few months but no success; not even an interview. I do not have the luxury of waiting around and hoping for a Part 121 to hire me. I understand that if I get the job I will not be doing the work a dispatcher at a Part 121 does (I've read other similar posts on this forum and the company was very clear in explaining what my responsibilities would be). Are there cons to working at a Part 135 as my first job and then continuing to apply with hopes of transferring to a 121 operation?
Finally, I'd like to thank ya'll as this forum has helped me discover dispatching.
