It's really not. You get hired with the expectation that you will pass training and upgrade to dispatcher asap. The assistant position is really "dispatcher in training"

I work at AA in MOC, my son applied to Delta, fresh from out of Dispatch school and has his BS degree. how are his odds at Delta?

Not great.

I heard going the internal route is sort of a long journey

It is yes but the alternative is also very long as well. the amount of applicants with the experience some of them have externally trying to get in. I always hope everyone gets what they want but pickings seem slim right now for job vacancies vs applicants.

Non-existent without at least four years experience. The Majors can afford to be extremely picky now that the COVID hiring rush is all but over. Have him keep applying though.

Assistant Flight Superintendent...is a dispatcher in training at Delta...and then you upgrade to Flight Superintendent

lol Delta would call dispatchers flight superintendents. Are suspenders part of the required dress code?

Yes, unless taking part in Peach Corps duties.
