Take the interview. There are quite a few dispatchers with 121 time on the street with CP,EV and AX closing over the past year. The hardest job to get is always the first one.

This is true where I work. No visitors allowed right now in our NOC due to COVID concerns; it's been like that for almost a year.
Update: I landed my second interview with Republic, any tips on how I should get ready for it? I believe that they are going to be asking me more technical questions this time around.
Good luck! When they ask where do you see yourself in 5 years, don't say American lol. More seriously, this is your time to shine and show that even though you you don't have experience you at least know your book stuff. Know the basic regs (especially 1-2-3 rule), some ask about approach charts and minimums, some don't. As long as you have been studying your rear end off in dispatch school, you shouldn't see any crazy curveballs.Update: I landed my second interview with Republic, any tips on how I should get ready for it?

Sounds good!!Just went through it myself. It’s very basic stuff. Review the FARs, weather (lots of weather), fuel requirements, things like that and you’ll be fine.
Note taken!! And I will, you guys are like my dispatcher guardians now lolbest of luck! stay calm cool and collective. when they ask at the end of the interview: "Do you have any questions for us?" always ask them what they love about the company or something about what makes an employee shine here...etc....
youre going to do great! let us all know what happens.
I said something along those lines and I was still hiredWhen they ask where do you see yourself in 5 years, don't say American lol.

I worked for the airline that I'll be doing dispatch for next month. They paid for my classes in exchange for a 3-year commitment. They have reminded me multiple times that the amount is prorated if I get a better job before then. To me it says a lot that a regional carrier realizes that they may be a stepping stone on your way to a career with a larger airline later. There are some people there who have stayed long term so it's not like it's a bad place to work, they just understand that it's a part of most people's journey but not the entire journey.
I'm not stressing one way or the other about if or when I'll move to a different company. I just appreciate that they have a realistic outlook on things. personally, I think it's one of the better companies I've worked for aviation and non-aviation. So I'm happy to stay as long as I need to.It's nice that they are understanding. Unfortunately right now I think that you may end up not owing them any money if your goal is to make it to a major...but never say never, as travel appears to be rebounding pretty strongly right now. Thanks in part to 9/11, I ended up at working in the regional section for quite a bit over three years, but I still made it to a major eventually.
I saw Kalitta had a flight following opening. Are they actually hiring?
While I'm on the subject, how hard is it to get small cargo shipping dx jobs ?
yea thats a job opening for Kalitta Charters 2 which is not for the kalitta air LLC.. Kalitta Charters 2 operates smaller a/c..id still apply for the job tho if ur interested. I used to work at Kalitta air and it was enjoyable for the time that I was there.
Thanks for pointing that out. KalittaAir has a "aircraft scheduler" position. Is that what they call their dispatchers?
Is there anything you all would suggest to study before starting the first day of ground school?
