I mean… it sure isn’t great. Multiple airlines are going through bankruptcy proceedings. Others are loaded with debt and/or posting continuous negative quarters. UA and DL are doing fairly well, but (in terms of their dispatch hiring) there isn’t any expected openings outside of the annual ones they do to replace normal attrition.
All the while dispatch schools continue to pump out freshly minted dispatchers at the same rates they were when hiring was more frequent. I heard Skywest received 500 applicants on their last posting. I tend to skew more of an optimist in most things, but the numbers paint a bleak story for those wanting to get into this, or move up in the industry.
At this point, I see it more as a resume builder for other airline ops jobs. It’s great IF someone is able to get a job in any dispatch capacity with the current market.

We’ve been told to expect a class of 2-3 at AS sometime in 2025 due to growth.

What do you think being hired on to a shop that uses Flight Keys coming from a regional that does not use it?
