From what the MGR said anywhere outside a 2omin commute one can find reasonable housing.
Here is Atlas' Recap (expect a call within the week):
24 dispatchers
schedule: 5 on/3 off 5 on/2 off
The Mgr of Dispatchers called for the phone interview. I was asked the following questions.
1. Tell me about yourself and how you got involved in the dispatcher field.
2. Tell me something about your work that you dislike.
3. Tell me about a time you went above and beyond.
4. Tell me about your most recent pilot check ride and what you learned from it (pass or failed won't count against you).
5. Are you willing to relocate?
6. When would you be available to start?
Technical Q's (Sound pretty standard if you ask me)
1. What set of FAR's does Atlasfollow?
2. Who has operational control over domestic,flag and supplemental oeprations?
3. When do you need a destination alternate?

They require a pilot lilcense in order to get a dispatcher position? That's the first I've ever seen that.
IIRC I saw a Mesa post a few years ago that required at least a private certificate.

I don't think Mesa is hiring ATM, but when I worked for them as a dispatcher no license other than a dispatcher's was required. Of course, that's been quite a while ago - back in the late 90's.

Well, MEM does have a fairly low cost of living. However, I would be a bit wary of getting on with Pinnacle right now because they are in some financial difficulty. I think they'll ultimately be fine, but if they did a Chapter 11 and cut back positions the last hired are the first furloughed.

No word on Atlas yet but from what I have learned is that they are trying to fill 4 positions and sounds like many people from Southern are applying. Miami has an inspection coming up and are slowing down on interviews. Should be a few weeks before I hear anything from them.

Sorry to hear about that, but hang in there. I still think you were smart to pass on Pinnacle.

Thanks guys. I know its all a numbers game. I'm thankful that they gave me the opportunity to interview and get a feel for how those are done. The nice thing is is that I'm not desperate for a job so I can afford to wait, even though it would be nice to begin the new career.
