Jeppesen dispatch

If you are talking about their dispatch facility, several F9 dispatchers went there back in 2010. As far as I know they are still their but some are in different positions now. If I remember correctly, those in their dispatch office started around 55k, if weather was bad they were allowed to work from home. Ive been told the benefits are quite good.

is F9 frontier?
 
Is Jeppesen a Boeing company? I'm assuming working for them flight privileges would be non-existant?

Yes, and you are correct. They do contract dispatch - no CASS or non rev bennies. Last I heard anyway.
 
I had a friend who worked there while waiting to be recalled at American. He enjoyed it pretty well. I am personally not that enamored with the company myself, due to their years-long lobbying campaign to legalize contract dispatch for US carriers, but their main office is definitely located in a nice area and you sure wouldn't have to worry about them going out of business. I believe they also have some tech support positions for people using their flight planning system that they like to hire dispatchers for.
 
Starting pay for the dispatcher was $43-45k, then the next level up was around $50-55k. I know someone there who loves it, works two days from the office and two days at home doing military charters. Lot's of overtime as well.
 
I'm basically repeating what has been posted. They work four 10 hour shifts...2 days at the office and 2 days from home for disaster recovery purposes.
No need to have a back up facility when they can run their ops from home. I also know someone who works there and loves it.
Seems strange not exercising your dispatch license in reality, but they have a strong group because most (probably all) come from 121 backgrounds.
Ditto nice area to live. Have a military and corporate group, commercial group and I believe an international group. I think top out is $80 for dispatchers.
Not sure on management side. Dispatchers are salaried.

I'm assuming by $80, you mean 80k a year?

Surprised their pay is not higher, considering there are no flight benefits and it's not a super cheap area to live in. It's definitely better than regional pay, but quite a bit less than majors.

I did a phone interview for the Flight Dispatcher 1 position late 2012 and that's what they told me the pay was back then, but the military contract they were supposed to get ended up going to United, so the position was cancelled.

I heard about that, I think...evidently it involved the DOD giving both companies a no-notice "practical test" to see what they could produce on short notice, and Jeppesen didn't pass. I don't know all the details though.
